AI Summary

Specifically, it eliminates requirements for the Department of Healthcare and Family Services (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. The bill also removes a provision that mandated DHFS and the Department of Human Services collaborate to review and potentially streamline coverage and billing requirements for substance use prevention, recovery, and mental health services.
