HB 1794

House·20th Congress·Filed Jul 14, 2025

An Act Mandating That Patients with Congenital Heart Disease Be Given the Same Privileges as Persons with Disabilities (Pwds), and for Other Purposes

In plain language

The proposal would give people with congenital heart disease the same benefits that people with disabilities already receive, such as discounts on medicines, medical services, travel, funeral costs, and education. The Department of Social Welfare and Development and other agencies must issue rules, and the law would take effect 15 days after it is published.
