Bill > H0298

This bill amends existing law to create the Medicaid Expansion Dedicated Fund, which will be used to fund the cost of Medicaid eligibility expansion. The bill also revises provisions regarding the sales tax exemption for certain hospitals and the remittance of use tax by non-exempt hospitals. Specifically, the bill defines "hospital" to mean a "critical access hospital" as defined in federal law, and requires non-exempt hospitals to accrue and remit any use tax due on sales or purchases to the state tax commission, which will then transfer those funds to the Medicaid Expansion Dedicated Fund.
