Bill > SB175

This bill requires the Secretary of Human Services to establish a Medicaid Infant, Toddler and Family Home Visiting Program. The program will provide voluntary home visiting services to Medicaid-eligible infants, toddlers, and their families to improve health outcomes, positive parenting practices, child well-being, and school readiness. The program must be evidence-based, follow research-based curricula, employ well-trained staff, and demonstrate strong community linkages. The Human Services Department and the Children, Youth and Families Department must coordinate to ensure the services are not duplicative and to maximize federal Medicaid funding. The bill also requires the development of an outcomes measurement plan and annual reporting on the program's outcomes.
