Bill > HB5576

This bill, titled the Socially Necessary Services (SNS) Accountability and Streamlining Act, aims to improve how providers who offer Socially Necessary Services, which are essential services often provided to vulnerable populations, report their travel mileage. The Department of Human Services will implement a new tiered reporting system: agencies that travel over 3,000 miles within a 92-day period must submit detailed mileage logs, which can be satisfied by GPS software, while those traveling under 3,000 miles will need necessary documentation to verify their services. The bill also mandates updating reporting processes to eliminate redundancy and encourages the use of user-friendly digital forms and GPS-integrated mileage tracking software to reduce errors, with the cost of this technology falling on the provider agencies themselves; however, agencies that adopt this technology will receive expedited payment.
