Bill > H113

This bill creates a Joint Legislative Committee on Medicaid Sustainability in North Carolina, composed of 12 members (six senators and six representatives) appointed by the Senate President Pro Tempore and the House Speaker. The committee's primary purpose is to explore potential modifications to the state's Medicaid program in response to potential decreases in federal funding, with strategies including reducing optional services, eliminating optional eligibility groups, adjusting provider assessments, cutting reimbursement rates, improving managed care efficiencies, and identifying other cost-saving opportunities. The committee will have significant investigative powers, including the ability to request information from state agencies and subpoena witnesses, and will be supported by professional and clerical staff. Members will receive standard per diem and travel allowances, and the committee is required to submit a final report to the General Assembly by April 30, 2026, at which point it will terminate. The committee's meetings will require a majority quorum, and decisions will be made by majority vote, with cochairs from both the Senate and House appointed to lead the group.
