HB 3891 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to prohibiting the use of certain criteria to determine certain individuals' eligibility for benefits under a Medicaid waiver program.

HB 3891 prohibits Texas Medicaid waiver programs from requiring individuals diagnosed with Prader-Willi Syndrome to meet intelligence quotient (IQ) criteria for eligibility. The bill directly affects people with Prader-Willi Syndrome seeking benefits under Section 1915(c) Medicaid waiver programs. It amends state law to explicitly ban using IQ tests as a requirement for these specific waiver benefits. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025, though implementation may be delayed if federal agency authorization is needed.
