The bill, H.B. No. 1724, proposes amendments to the Government Code by adding a new subchapter, J-1, which specifically addresses the Community Living Assistance and Support Services (CLASS) waiver program. It introduces a provision that entitles individuals providing habilitation transportation services to compensation for all time spent operating a motor vehicle while transporting a recipient. This includes time spent returning the recipient's vehicle to a designated location without the recipient as a passenger, ensuring that service providers are fairly compensated for their time and efforts.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that if a state agency determines that a waiver or authorization from a federal agency is necessary for the implementation of any provision of this Act, the agency may delay implementation until such waiver or authorization is granted. The Act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
