S.B. No. 1307 establishes a new Chapter 524A in the Texas Insurance Code, focusing on public education regarding health coverage. The Texas Department of Insurance is tasked with developing a biennial health coverage reference guide in consultation with the Health and Human Services Commission. This guide aims to educate the public about health coverage options available in Texas and must include comprehensive information such as definitions of health insurance, sources for obtaining coverage, consumer rights, a shopping guide for health coverage, and details on federal and state assistance programs.

The bill mandates that the first biennial reference guide be published by January 1, 2026, and it will be made available both online and in printed form upon request. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
