Texas Health and Human Services logo

 

 

 

This is the best opportunity for Texans with disabilities to share their budget priorities with HHSC before the next legislative session. 

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission is working on its Legislative Appropriations Request (LAR) for the 88th Legislature, which starts in 2023.

Hearing from the people they serve and their partners is a critical part of developing their budget request and public comments are open.

The deadline for comment is Nov. 19.

The Legislative Appropriation Request outlines the agency’s funding needs for the next two years. HHSC must submit it to the Legislature by Sept. 1, 2022.

Let HHSC know what you believe should be in the 2024-2025 request by submitting your ideas and recommendations to CFOStakeholderFeedback@hhs.texas.gov.

Please include the following in your email:

  • Your name or the name of your organization and a contact person.
  • A clear, concise description of the recommendation.
  • What need would be addressed by this recommendation.
  • The expected impact or benefit to the state or the people we serve.

The deadline for submitting recommendations is Nov. 19.

HHSC will review and consider all submissions as it develops the LAR.
