Legislation making its way to the Texas House could partially restore funding cut from speech, occupational and physical therapy services for disabled children.
House Bill 25, authored by Sarah Davis (R-Houston), would appropriate $79 million in federal and state funds to the commission for Medicaid acute therapy services in 2018. The bill, which has four co-authors, would appropriate $84.1 million in 2019.
The bill, which was voted out of committee, has received bipartisan support, according to a statement from State Rep. Eddie Rodriguez (D-Austin). HB 25 now moves on to the Texas House.
