HB 5242 proposes amendments to the Government Code to require the collection, categorization, and publication of demographic and other information regarding individuals who receive benefits under state-administered health programs. It mandates that demographic data be collected with an expanded categorization of race and ethnicity, including detailed subcategories, and allows individuals to select multiple categories or write in their own. The bill also requires agencies to conduct cross-tabulation analyses and publish reports on specific health and socioeconomic factors affecting beneficiaries.
