Bill > LB527A

This bill appropriates funds to support Legislative Bill 527 for the Department of Health and Human Services across two fiscal years (FY2025-26 and FY2026-27), specifically allocating money from the Medicaid Access and Quality Fund and federal funds for two different programs. For Program 344, the bill provides $5,765,385 from the state fund and $12,279,638 in federal funds for FY2025-26, and $11,758,984 from the state fund and $25,045,347 in federal funds for FY2026-27. For Program 348, the appropriations are significantly larger, with $57,392,193 from the state fund and $105,013,007 in federal funds for FY2025-26, and $117,056,172 from the state fund and $214,182,801 in federal funds for FY2026-27. The bill specifically stipulates that these funds are to be used only for state aid purposes and explicitly prohibits using these appropriations for permanent and temporary salaries or per diems for state employees. The bill includes an emergency clause, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval, which allows for immediate implementation of the funding allocations.
