AI Summary
This bill expresses the Nebraska Legislature's intent regarding Medicaid nursing facility funding for fiscal years 2025-26 and 2026-27, specifically outlining appropriations for Program No. 348 with total amounts of $462,480,546 and $476,717,026 respectively (using a combination of General and Federal Funds). The bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services to use these funds for calculating Medicaid nursing facility rates, including an annual inflation factor, and mandates two specific reporting requirements: first, a report due by August 1, 2025, explaining how the inflation factor for nursing facility rates was calculated, and second, a report due between December 15-31, 2025, identifying any remaining unobligated appropriations, encumbrances, and retroactive payments related to Medicaid nursing facility payments. The bill includes an emergency clause, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
