RELATING TO PUBLIC ASSISTANCE; PROHIBITING THE INCLUSION OF
HEALTH CARE PROVIDER GROSS RECEIPTS TAXES IN A MI VIA WAIVER
PROGRAM PARTICIPANT'S BUDGET.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO:
SECTION 1. MI VIA WAIVER PROGRAM--GROSS RECEIPTS
TAXES.--
A.  The health care authority shall promulgate
rules to ensure that gross receipts taxes are not used to

reimbursed as a separate line item that is in addition to a
participant's individual budgetary allotment.
B.  For the purposes of this section:
(1)  "individual budgetary allotment" means
the total approved annual budget assigned to a mi via waiver
program participant for services, supports and goods; and
(2)  "mi via waiver program" means the
state's self-directed medicaid home- and community-based
services waiver program.
