Fiscal Notes

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. 

Bill Analysis

SB 1350 would allow the board of trustees of a hospital district, in a county with a population of more than 800,000 that was not included in the boundaries of a hospital district before September 1, 2003, to participate in a health care provider participation program. This would allow the hospital district to collect federal funds and mandatory payments from member hospitals.

Vote Recommendation Notes

Texas Action remains neutral on SB 1350 because it does not affect our liberty principles.
