The bill also clarifies that "residential support services" will include "family residential services" starting January 1, 2027, or upon federal approval, and establishes specific component values and calculation methods for payment rates for family residential services, also effective January 1, 2027, or upon federal approval. Finally, it updates provisions for establishing rates for family residential and life sharing services, with the new framework for family residential services taking effect on January 1, 2027, or upon federal approval.
