Relates to a nursing facility transition and diversion Medicaid waiting list

Summary

The bill directs the state commissioner of health to set up waiting lists for Medicaid‑covered nursing facility spots in each designated waiver region when the federally approved capacity for that waiver is full. When a vacancy occurs, the commissioner must fill it from the regional list, generally in the order people joined, unless the commissioner decides to give priority to certain groups such as those moving from nursing homes. The measure is intended to manage limited nursing‑facility capacity and ensure orderly access for eligible individuals.
