House Bill No. 2925 proposes the establishment of a grant program aimed at assisting hospitals with costs incurred by families of chronically ill children receiving care. The bill introduces a new section, 526.0061, to the Government Code, which defines the grant program and outlines its administration by the executive commissioner and the commission. The program is designed to help cover expenses related to food and parking for families while their children are hospitalized for chronic illnesses. The executive commissioner is tasked with creating rules that include eligibility criteria, application procedures, and a scoring system for awarding grants to hospitals.

Additionally, the bill specifies that grants can only be provided to parents, guardians, or caretakers of children diagnosed with chronic illnesses who meet Medicaid financial eligibility requirements. The funds can be used to reimburse these caregivers for actual costs incurred for parking and food at the hospital. The commission is authorized to accept donations for the program and is required to review the program every four years to assess its effectiveness. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, with rules to be adopted by the executive commissioner shortly after the effective date.
