The bill, H.B. No. 1719, proposes amendments to the Government Code by adding a new subchapter, Subchapter J-1, which focuses on the Community Living Assistance and Support Services (CLASS) waiver program. Specifically, it introduces provisions that allow personal assistance services to be provided to recipients of the CLASS Medicaid waiver program at any time during a 24-hour period, as long as it is permitted by federal law. This change aims to enhance the flexibility and accessibility of personal assistance services for individuals enrolled in the program.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision that allows state agencies to delay the implementation of any part of the Act if they determine that a waiver or authorization from a federal agency is necessary. The Act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
