HB 76 requires the Texas Health and Human Services Commission to implement an "express lane" eligibility option for Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Under this system, a child already enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) could be automatically evaluated and enrolled for health coverage with parental consent, using SNAP data. The goal is to streamline access and reduce administrative burdens for eligible families.
