Medicaid home- and community-based services; modifying certain definition. Effective date.
Approved by Governor 05/12/2026
Summary
The law updates key terms used in Medicaid home‑ and community‑based services, setting specific IQ and adaptive‑skill criteria for an "individual with intellectual disability" and a detailed description of "developmental disability." It also defines who is considered a "resident" of an institution and ensures people already receiving services before September 1 1991 stay eligible, while allowing the Department of Human Services to serve additional persons with developmental disabilities as resources allow.
