Bill Summary
To provide equitable compensation for state-contracted nonprofit human services providers.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a mechanism for automatic annual rate increases for state-contracted nonprofit human services providers, focusing on organizations that provide services for people with physical disabilities, intellectual or developmental disabilities (including autism spectrum disorder), and behavioral health services. Specifically, starting July 1, 2027, state agencies must increase rates for recurring contracts by the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for urban consumers in the Northeast region from the previous calendar year, with a key provision that rates cannot be decreased if the CPI is negative. The bill also requires the Commissioner of Social Services to adjust Medicaid rates similarly, unless federal Medicaid regulations prohibit such adjustments. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management file a report every three years, beginning January 1, 2026, detailing state agency contracts with nonprofit human services providers and identifying any appropriations needed to maintain rate increases that match the CPI. The goal of this legislation is to provide more equitable and predictable compensation for nonprofit organizations delivering critical human services, helping them keep pace with inflation and maintain the financial stability needed to continue providing essential support to vulnerable populations.
