10	10	Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
11	11	Under current law, the Department of Health Services is required to determine

13	13	county expenditures for the Children's Long-Term Support program and may
14	14	require counties to maintain a specified level of contribution for the program. This
15	15	bill sunsets the current funding methodology after December 31, 2024, and requires
16	16	DHS, in cooperation with counties, to review county contributions and develop a
17	17	revised funding methodology for the Children's Long-Term Support program to take
18	18	effect on January 1, 2025. In developing a revised funding methodology, the bill
19	19	prohibits DHS from requiring counties to maintain any level of contribution. The
20	20	Children's Long-Term Support program is a program operating under a waiver of
21	21	federal Medicaid law to provide home and community-based services to children
22	22	with disabilities. The Children's Long-Term Support program is referred to as the
23	23	disabled children's long-term support program in the bill.
