Summary

The bill orders state health departments to report on whether their benefit and waiver systems can exchange data securely and to estimate costs if they cannot. It also creates a filterable provider directory, a public dashboard for tracking application status, regular guidance on wait‑list procedures, a reporting and penalty system for misinformation, plain‑language notices, trauma‑informed design requirements, and separate reporting of wait‑list numbers. The measures affect people with disabilities, their families, and the agencies that manage MO HealthNet benefits and waiver services.
