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 them to submit their findings by December 1 each year. Additionally, it modifies the reporting schedule for other sections, shifting from annual to biennial reports for certain assessments and evaluations, including those related to the implementation of interventions and best practices by providers. The bill also mandates that all reports required by the Health and Safety Code be submitted by December 1 of the year they are due.

Furthermore, the bill introduces new requirements for the content of these reports, such as including assessments of the effects of Medicaid services on access, quality, and outcomes for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities. It emphasizes the need for comprehensive evaluations of pilot programs and the integration of service coordination. The changes aim to enhance accountability and ensure that the legislature receives timely and relevant information regarding the state's health and human services initiatives.
