Summary

The bill orders the Department of Health and Human Services to continue contract payments at the previous rate for any provider in good standing if a new contract is delayed more than 30 days. It also obligates the department to reimburse administrative fees and interest on any loans the provider must take to cover cash‑flow gaps caused by the delay. The aim is to prevent financial strain on essential behavioral health and housing assistance nonprofits.
