Bill > HB15

This bill proposes to amend the Kentucky Constitution to permanently protect the current expansion of Medicaid, which provides health coverage to non-disabled adults with incomes up to 138% of the federal poverty level. The proposed constitutional amendment would ensure that these individuals continue to receive Medicaid benefits that meet or exceed federal requirements, and it would prevent the state from imposing stricter eligibility or enrollment rules than those already in place, except for work or cost-sharing requirements if mandated by federal law. Before this amendment can be voted on by the public, the Secretary of State is directed to advertise the proposed changes and the specific ballot language that voters will see when they decide whether to ratify or reject it in a general election.
