Bill > H0850

This bill amends existing Idaho law to remove provisions related to Medicaid eligibility expansion, which is a government program providing health coverage to low-income individuals and families. Specifically, it removes a reference to Section 56-267 of the Idaho Code, which dealt with Medicaid eligibility expansion, and repeals Sections 56-267 and 56-2205 of the Idaho Code entirely. Section 56-2205 likely contained provisions related to legislative approval and limits on Medicaid expansion. The bill also makes a minor change to Section 31-3502 of the Idaho Code by deleting a reference to Section 56-267, effectively removing a condition that previously prevented individuals eligible for Medicaid under that section from receiving other forms of financial assistance. The changes are set to take effect on January 1, 2028.
