Bill > A02170

This bill repeals sections 91 and 92 of part H of chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, which previously established a spending cap on Medicaid funding in the state. Specifically, the bill removes existing regulations that limited the year-to-year rate of growth for Department of Health state funds and Medicaid expenditures. By repealing these sections, the bill eliminates the previous restrictions on Medicaid spending, potentially allowing for more flexible funding and potentially increased spending in the state's Medicaid program. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, meaning the spending cap would be removed as soon as the bill is signed into law. This change could provide the state with greater discretion in managing Medicaid funding and potentially responding to changing healthcare needs or economic conditions.
