S.B. No. 1466 amends the Human Resources Code to enhance the provision of prosthetic devices to certain Medicaid recipients. Specifically, it adds a new subsection (ff-1) to Section 32.024, which mandates that the commission provide prosthetic devices 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. This change aims to ensure that individuals in need of prosthetic devices receive necessary support through the medical assistance program.

Additionally, the bill 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. This ensures that the state complies with federal regulations before proceeding with the new provisions. The Act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
