9	9	AN ACT to create 46.995 (2g) (c) and 46.995 (2m) of the statutes; relating to:
10	10	funding methodology under the Children's Long-Term Support program.
11	11	Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
12	12	Under current law, the Department of Health Services is required to determine
13	13	the amount of contribution that a county is required to maintain based on historical
14	14	county expenditures for the Children's Long-Term Support program and may
15	15	require counties to maintain a specified level of contribution for the program. This
16	16	bill sunsets the current funding methodology after December 31, 2024, and requires
17	17	DHS, in cooperation with counties, to review county contributions and develop a
18	18	revised funding methodology for the Children's Long-Term Support program to take
19	19	effect on January 1, 2025. In developing a revised funding methodology, the bill
20	20	prohibits DHS from requiring counties to maintain any level of contribution. The
21	21	Children's Long-Term Support program is a program operating under a waiver of
22	22	federal Medicaid law to provide home and community-based services to children
23	23	with disabilities. The Children's Long-Term Support program is referred to as the
24	24	disabled children's long-term support program in the bill.
25	25	For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
26	26	printed as an appendix to this bill.
