This bill expands the types of health care and social service providers eligible to receive state funding (including Medicaid and federal grants) by adding critical access hospitals and Federally Qualified Health Centers to the list of covered community-based providers. The bill also gives the secretaries of the Department of Social Services and Department of Human Services flexibility to add other provider types they deem appropriate without needing legislative approval.
The amendment adds critical access hospitals (as defined in state law) to the list of community-based providers eligible for state-funded services, broadening the bill's scope to include hospital-based care alongside existing community providers.
The amendment converts the bill from its engrossed committee version to its final enrolled form by renumbering the bill section identifier and adding standard legislative enactment language and signature pages; the substantive provisions defining community-based provider types remain unchanged.
