AN ACT RELATING TO HUMAN SERVICES -- MEDICAL ASSISTANCE--LONG-TERM CARE SERVICE AND FINANCE REFORM

Summary

The bill orders the state health department to seek needed federal waivers and write rules so that half of Medicaid long‑term‑care spending goes to home‑ and community‑based care for seniors and adults with disabilities.
