Bill Caption
Relating to certain mental health screenings under the Texas Health Steps program.
Fiscal Notes
No fiscal implication to the state is anticipated.
Bill Analysis
This bill would allow mental health screenings for a recipient in the Texas Health steps program over 12 years of age but under 19 years of age and allow the provider who conducts the screening to be reimbursed for it.
Vote Recommendation Notes
This bill codifies an existing practice and does not appear to have a connection to our liberty principles, therefore we remain neutral.
