SB 1846 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to money awarded to providers of women's health services and family planning services, including the repeal of prohibitions on the provision of those services.

SB 1846 repeals restrictions that previously limited funding for family planning services in Texas. It revises how state funds are distributed to providers, requiring money to go first to entities with a proven track record of achieving service goals, then to providers offering broader primary care, and finally to those focused solely on family planning. The bill also mandates that funds be distributed equitably across all regions of the state to ensure access to these services. This change takes effect September 1, 2025, replacing outdated provisions in the Government and Human Resources Codes.
