Description
The revised 2016 plan is the eighth revision of the plan originally submitted in January 2001 as required by Governor George W. Bush’s Executive Order GWB 99-2. Texas’ plan is a direct response to the Supreme Court Olmstead ruling. Governor Rick Perry issued Executive Order RP-13 which broadened the scope of the initiative. The Olmstead Ruling requires states, within certain conditions, to provide individuals an opportunity to live in the most integrated setting to receive LTSS. The plan amended released by HHSC describes how Texas will provide community-based options within the Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS) system.
