Bill > HB1160

This bill modifies the composition and responsibilities of the county-state finance commission, a body that oversees the financial relationship and policy development for programs jointly funded by county and state governments. Key changes include allowing the commissioner of the department of health and human services or their designee to serve on the commission, and renaming the division of elderly and adult services to the division of long term supports and services, which will now be represented on the commission. The bill also alters the appointment terms for some commission members, ensuring they continue to serve until their successors are appointed, and clarifies that legislative members' terms are tied to their legislative service. Furthermore, the commission's duties are updated to include reviewing and recommending policy for the state's long-term care medicaid plan, reviewing rate setting and adjustments for long-term care services for elderly and adult clients by the division of long term supports and services, and refining county billing systems for payments to the state. The commission will also manage individual county payment limits for long-term care and oversee state expenditures for long-term care, including county reimbursements.
