AI Summary
This bill aims to improve the efficiency of the Medicaid program by preventing individuals from being enrolled in multiple states simultaneously and to redirect any savings generated from this process to fund Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education. The bill mandates that state agencies collaborate to identify individuals enrolled in Medicaid and other income-based programs who have moved out of state, using various data sources like returned mail and national change of address databases. It also requires the state to report individual information to federal agencies to help prevent duplicate enrollments. Any recovered funds from preventing these concurrent enrollments will be deposited into a new "supporting science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education account" to support STEM initiatives. The bill also includes provisions for audits to evaluate the effectiveness of these measures and sets specific effective and expiration dates for different sections of the act.
