Bill > LB54

This bill appropriates funds to the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to increase reimbursement rates for providers of developmental disability services by eleven percent in fiscal year 2025-26. The bill includes two separate appropriations: one from the General Fund (amount not specified) for Program 424, and another from Federal Funds (amount not specified) for Program 348. Both appropriations are specifically designated to be used exclusively for increasing reimbursement rates to developmental disability service providers. The bill includes an emergency clause, which means it will take effect immediately upon being passed and approved, allowing for quick implementation of the rate increases. This type of legislation is typically aimed at supporting providers who offer essential services to individuals with developmental disabilities, helping to ensure they can maintain and improve the quality of care while addressing potential financial challenges in the healthcare sector.
