Bill > HB3722

This bill modifies Oregon's medical assistance program by renaming the "Cover All People" program to the "Cover All Children" program and removing program eligibility for adults who would qualify for state medical assistance based on their immigration status. The bill focuses specifically on providing medical assistance to children under 19 years old whose family income is at or below 300 percent of the federal poverty guidelines. Key provisions include establishing continuous eligibility for children for a minimum of 12 months or until they reach 19 years of age, with automatic reenrollment as long as the child remains eligible. The Oregon Health Authority will be responsible for statewide outreach, education, and engagement to enroll eligible children, including developing grant programs to support culturally specific and targeted outreach to minority communities, children in isolated geographic areas, and families with additional barriers to accessing healthcare. The changes to the program will become operative on January 1, 2026, and the bill will take effect 91 days after the 2025 legislative session adjourns.
