The bill, S.B. No. 1466, aims to enhance the provision of prosthetic devices to certain Medicaid recipients in Texas. It amends Section 32.024 of the Human Resources Code by adding a new subsection (ff-1), which mandates that the commission provide prosthetic devices under the medical assistance program to recipients who require them due to congenital absence, surgical revision, or traumatic amputation of an extremity, hip, or shoulder, without regard to the recipient's age.

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.
