H.B. No. 4666 amends various sections of the Government Code related to reports required by the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and establishes new reporting timelines and formats. Notably, the bill changes the frequency of reports from quarterly to annual for the Data Analysis Unit, requiring it to submit an annual report by December 1 each year, which includes findings and anomalies identified. Additionally, the bill modifies the reporting requirements for the implementation of certain interventions and best practices, shifting from semiannual to biennial reports. This change applies to multiple sections, including those concerning the assessment of Medicaid services and the evaluation of pilot programs.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new section in the Health and Safety Code that mandates all reports submitted to the governor or members of the legislature to be due by December 1 of the year they are required. This aligns with the new reporting schedule established throughout the bill. The changes aim to streamline reporting processes and ensure timely submission of critical data and assessments related to health and safety services in Texas. The act will take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds majority vote; otherwise, it will take effect on September 1, 2025.
