Bill Summary
A JOINT RESOLUTION proposing and submitting to the voters at the next general election an amendment to the Constitution of the State of South Dakota, repealing the requirement to provide expanded medicaid.
AI Summary
This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the South Dakota Constitution that, if approved by voters, would repeal the requirement for the state to provide expanded Medicaid benefits. Expanded Medicaid refers to the provision of Medicaid, a government health insurance program for low-income individuals, to adults aged 18-64 whose income is at or below 133% of the federal poverty level, as authorized by federal law. The resolution, therefore, seeks to remove this constitutional mandate, allowing the state legislature to decide whether or not to offer these expanded benefits in the future.
