HB 4486 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to directing payment, after approval, of certain miscellaneous claims and judgments against the state out of funds designated by this Act; making appropriations.

HB 4486 authorizes specific payments totaling approximately $600,000 to resolve historical claims against the State of Texas, primarily for "replacement of void warrants" related to healthcare services (e.g., Baylor Scott & White Health) and tax refunds. The bill directs these payments from the General Revenue Fund for 15 identified claims, including $251,145.94 to a confidential payee for a void sales tax refund. It does not create new policy or affect ongoing programs, but resolves previously unresolved financial obligations. The bill was signed into law on June 20, 2025, and became effective immediately.
