Bill > SB1479

This bill allows state agencies to incorporate certain federal Medicaid regulations by reference into their own rules, meaning they can refer to these federal rules without having to publish them in full. This is particularly relevant for agencies dealing with Medicaid, which is a joint federal and state program providing health coverage to low-income individuals. Specifically, the bill permits agencies to reference Medicare fee schedules and later additions or amendments to Medicaid reimbursement methodologies, as well as later additions or amendments to federal rules and regulations, as needed to manage the state's Medicaid program. This aims to streamline the rulemaking process and ensure state Medicaid regulations remain consistent with current federal standards.
