AI Summary

This bill amends the Texas Human Resources Code to require the state's Medicaid program to continue providing medical assistance to women for at least 12 months after they deliver or experience an involuntary miscarriage. This extended Medicaid coverage is intended to ensure continued access to healthcare for new mothers during the postpartum period. The bill also allows state agencies to delay implementation of any provisions that require a federal waiver or authorization until such approval is obtained.
