AI Summary

This bill amends the Illinois Public Aid Code to require the Department of Healthcare and Family Services to publish a detailed annual transparency report about the Medical Assistance program (Medicaid). Starting January 1, 2026, and every January 1 thereafter, the department must release a comprehensive report on its website that breaks down all receipts and expenditures from the previous fiscal year. The report must be organized by service type and provide a full accounting of state and federal funds, including specifics on federal matching funds for different types of services such as federally mandated services, optional state services, waiver services, and services provided to noncitizens. Additionally, the report must detail any state or federal funds originally appropriated in previous fiscal years that were ultimately spent on covered services during the reporting year. The first report, due January 1, 2026, will be especially comprehensive, compiling funding information from state fiscal years 2018 through 2025. The bill aims to increase transparency and provide a clear, detailed view of how Medicaid funds are received and spent in Illinois.
