The bill proposes to update current statutes by appropriating additional funds to the Department of Economic Security specifically for developmental disabilities program expenses. The new language would allocate a total of $122,300,300 from the state general fund and $402,981,400 in developmental disabilities Medicaid expenditure authority for the fiscal year 2024-2025.
This appropriation is in addition to any other funds already allocated for the same fiscal year, thereby enhancing the financial resources available for developmental disabilities programs. The bill does not delete any existing provisions but rather adds new funding measures to support these essential services.
