AI Summary
This bill establishes a new condition for receiving benefits from the state Medicaid program, which is a government health insurance program for low-income individuals and families. Specifically, individuals must meet a "community engagement requirement" as outlined in federal law (42 U.S.C., Section 1396a(xx)), unless they qualify for an exemption under that same federal law. The Oklahoma Health Care Authority Board is directed to create the necessary rules to put this new requirement into practice. This bill also repeals an existing law, 56 O.S. 2021, Section 1011.15, which dealt with modifications to eligibility for Medicaid, and it will take effect on January 1, 2027.
