House Bill 138, by Rep. Jay Dean and Sen. Paul Bettencourt, is a critical piece of legislation designed to bring transparency and accountability to the legislative process. This bill would establish a fiscal review process to evaluate the cost of proposed healthcare mandates before they are enacted. With over 100 new mandates filed in the 2025 legislative session, we need your voice to make sure lawmakers prioritize affordability and transparency.
Why It Matters
- Rising Costs: Mandates drive up out-of-pocket expenses, insurance premiums, and healthcare service costs.
- Transparency: HB 138 will provide lawmakers with clear, data-driven analyses of the financial impact of new mandates.
- Accountability: This bill will ensure legislators fully understand how their decisions affect families and businesses.
Without these protections, new mandates could continue to make healthcare more expensive for Texans.
