Explanation
The bill results in a revenue gain to the Department of Public Health
(DPH) associated with registration fees for temporary nursing services.
The revenue gain is dependent on the fee established (up to $750
annually) and the number of registrations.
The bill also requires the Department of Social Services (DSS), in
consultation with DPH, to set the maximum rates temporary nursing
services agencies may charge nursing homes by type of nursing
personnel. To the extent this impacts the level of Medicaid
reimbursement provided to nursing homes for staffing costs, the state
could be impacted. Maximum rates must be established by 1/1/23.
The Out Years
The annualized ongoing fiscal impact identified above would
continue into the future subject to inflation.
