AN ACT CONCERNING LEGISLATIVE OVERSIGHT OF MEDICAID WAIVERS, MEDICAID STATE PLAN AMENDMENTS AND OTHER FEDERALLY FUNDED PROGRAMS.

Summary

The measure requires the Commissioner of Social Services to submit any federal Medicaid waiver, waiver renewal, or proposed amendment to the state plan to the General Assembly’s joint standing committees on human services and appropriations (and the insurance committee for certain waivers) before filing with the federal government. The committees must act within set time frames, hold public hearings if desired, and can approve, deny, or modify the request. The bill adds reporting, public‑notice, and comment requirements to increase legislative oversight of federally funded programs.
