S.B. No. 1467 amends the Health and Safety Code by adding Section 191.012, which establishes a procedure for the Department of State Health Services to provide death information to hospitals designated as Level I trauma facilities. This information is intended to assist these hospitals in their participation in the Medicaid managed care program. The specific details to be provided include the county of residence, date of birth, and full name of the deceased for each individual for whom a death certificate is filed. Additionally, the department may extend this service to hospitals that are not designated as Level I trauma facilities, subject to available resources.

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