 Texas H.B. 2292
Transition Plan
With the passage of
H.B. 2292 in May 2003, the 78th Texas Legislature set the stage
for significant improvement in the delivery of health and human
services to all Texans who qualify for needed assistance by
mandating a fundamental transformation of health and human
services in Texas. H.B. 2292 strengthens and clarifies
accountability for results in the management of health and human
services. It also sets expectations for significant improvement in
the cost effectiveness of health and human services agency
operations in order to generate substantial, measurable, and
sustainable savings. H.B.
2292 specifies that its required changes, which transfer a
large number of functions, powers, duties, programs, and
activities occur in accordance with a schedule included in a
Transition Plan to be submitted by the Executive Commissioner for
Health and Human Services to the Governor and Legislative Budget
Board no later than December 1, 2003.
