AI Summary
This bill amends the Illinois Public Aid Code by repealing two specific sections (5-5.05g and 5-5.14.5) that previously required the Department of Healthcare and Family Services (DHFS) to take certain actions related to substance use and mental health treatment. Specifically, the bill eliminates requirements for DHFS to consult with stakeholders and General Assembly members about developing enhanced Medicaid rates for substance use disorder and mental health treatment in underserved communities. It also removes the requirement for DHFS and the Department of Human Services to collaborate on reviewing coverage and billing requirements for substance use prevention, recovery, and mental health services with the goal of identifying disparities and reducing administrative burdens. The bill will take effect on January 1, 2026, effectively removing these consultation and collaborative review mandates from current law.
