Relates to a nursing facility transition and diversion Medicaid waiting list

Summary

The bill amends the Social Services Law to require the New York Commissioner of Health to create a waiting list for each Medicaid waiver region once the federally approved capacity is reached. When a vacancy opens, the commissioner must fill it from the regional list in the order applicants entered, unless the commissioner chooses to prioritize certain groups, such as people moving from nursing facilities. The changes take effect immediately.
