A bill that recently passed the Texas House and is now in the Texas Senate would expand options in Central Texas for those who receive Medicaid.
The bill, House Bill 3662, was authored by Rep. Brad Buckley, R-Salado, and coauthored by three others, including Rep. Hugh Shine, R-Temple.
Buckley explained over the phone Wednesday that the bill would add the Baylor Scott & White health plan as an option for Medicaid recipients.
âThis bill, basically, if it receives final passage in the Senate and becomes law, could impact 200,000 Medicaid recipients in Central Texas rural service area,â Buckley said.
The rural service area includes all around the Killeen-Fort Hood-Temple area, up to Waco, as far as Bryan and âout west,â Buckley explained.
A bill that would expand state reimbursement for lost property tax revenue due to the 100% disabled veterans property tax exemption, known as House Bill 125, is effectively dead after it failed to get to a floor vote by midnight Thursday, which was the deadline for bills to be voted on in the House.
The bill would have expanded eligibility to Harker Heights, Nolanville and other cities within 2 miles of a military base. Currently, Killeen, Copperas Cove and cities directly adjacent qualify for the reimbursed funding.
âWeâre disappointed that we didnât get it through,â Rep. Brad Buckley, R-Salado, who sponsored the bill, said on Saturday.
