Senate Bill 2476, introduced by Laredo Senator Judith Zaffirini, aims to ensure that patients are not charged exorbitant prices for urgent trips to the hospital. The bill would prohibit municipalities from engaging in balance billing and preclude patients from receiving surprise bills when their insurers refuse to cover the costs.
