AI Summary
This bill expands Medicaid eligibility for postpartum mothers in Alaska. It allows the state's Department of Health to seek federal approval to extend Medicaid coverage for pregnant women up to 12 months after childbirth, as authorized under federal law. The bill's provisions will only take effect if the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services approves the state's plan amendments, and the commissioner of health must notify the state's revisor of statutes once the federal approval is received.
