Rep. Toni Rose introduced HB 5152, a bill on Human Services, to the Texas House on Monday, April 7 during the 89(R) legislative session, according to the Texas Legislature website.

More specifically, the official text was summarized by the state legislature as ’’Relating to Medicaid reimbursement for services provided to certain recipients under a nurse home visiting program’’.

The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.

This bill introduces Medicaid reimbursement for services provided to certain recipients under a nurse home visiting program. The program offers personalized health and education services primarily through home visits by registered nurses to pregnant individuals, those up to 24 months postpartum, and children 24 months or younger. The program follows a research-based model linked to national organizations or higher education institutions. It mandates a bundled reimbursement rate covering services such as healthy pregnancy education, child development, diet and nutrition, and more. If eligibility changes for a recipient, coordination is required to maintain service continuity. Telehealth services should adhere to specific requirements. The bill takes effect Sept. 1, 2025, contingent on necessary federal waivers or authorizations.

Toni Rose, member of the House Committee on Human Services and vice chair of the House Committee on Calendars, proposed another 11 bills during the 89(R) legislative session.

Toni Rose is currently serving in the Texas State House, representing the state's 110th House district. She replaced previous state representative Barbara Mallory Caraway in 2013.

Bills in Texas go through a multi-step legislative process, including committee review, debates, and votes in both chambers before reaching a final decision. Each session, there are typically thousands of bills introduced, but only a portion successfully navigate the process to become law.
