Bill Summary
This bill provides one-time funding of $50,000,000 to the Department of Health and Human Services, Nursing Facilities program, Nursing Facility Reform Transition Fund Other Special Revenue Funds account to fund components of nursing facility rates.
AI Summary
This bill provides a one-time transfer of $50 million from the state's General Fund unappropriated surplus to the Department of Health and Human Services' Nursing Facilities program, specifically to the Nursing Facility Reform Transition Fund Other Special Revenue Funds account. The funding is designated to support components of nursing facility rates, which likely means improving financial support for long-term care facilities. The bill specifies that the State Controller shall make this transfer as soon as practicable, and the funds are allocated for fiscal year 2025-26, with no additional funding planned for the following fiscal year. This financial injection appears aimed at addressing challenges in the nursing facility sector, potentially helping to improve care quality, facility infrastructure, or staff compensation by providing a significant one-time financial boost to the program.
