The next biennial Texas legislative session begins January 10, 2023 and it’s going to be a doozy, action packed with a significant number of bills to be introduced related to insurance matters.
The first day of filing was November 15 with 921 bills filed which is an indication of a very busy legislative session next year.
Pay particular attention to filings affecting the TRS ActiveCare government health plan. Read the Segal Report for clues.
