Bill > HB14

This bill repeals Alaska's existing programs for catastrophic illness assistance and medical assistance for chronic and acute medical conditions by removing all references to AS 47.08 (the statute governing these programs) from various sections of Alaska state law. Specifically, the bill deletes all mentions of AS 47.08 from statutes related to medical assistance, including provisions about subpoena powers, record access, fraud prevention, provider participation, and program definitions. Section 10 of the bill completely repeals all sections of AS 47.08, effectively eliminating the entire legal framework for these medical assistance programs. The bill includes transition provisions that allow ongoing investigations and audits related to the repealed program to continue, ensuring that any existing cases or financial matters can be properly resolved. The legislation appears to be a comprehensive dismantling of a specific medical assistance program, removing it entirely from the state's legal code while preserving the ability to complete any outstanding administrative processes related to the program.
