AI Summary
This bill aims to authorize payment for parental caregivers of minor children with developmental disabilities. The key provisions are:
1. The legislature finds that natural, adoptive, and stepparents may be the best caregivers for their developmentally disabled, Medicaid-eligible children, and that paying parents for their extraordinary caregiving labor is an important investment in families and communities.
2. The bill requires the Administration to submit a request to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) by January 31, 2025, to amend applicable developmental disabilities administration home and community-based services waivers to allow parents to receive payment for providing personal care services to their minor children with developmental disabilities, to the greatest extent allowable under federal law.
3. If the amendment requests are not accepted, the Administration must apply for a Section 1115 demonstration waiver from CMS to achieve the same goal of allowing parents to be paid for providing care to their developmentally disabled children.
4. The department must commence the authorized payments immediately upon receiving approval from CMS.
