The proposed bill would update current statutes by appropriating a total of $12,000,000 from the state general fund and $36,000,000 in Medicaid expenditure authority for the fiscal years 2026-2031. This funding is specifically designated for the Department of Economic Security to implement reimbursement rate increases for rehabilitation group homes that support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, utilizing the health care common procedure coding system code T2016.
No current law is being deleted or modified; rather, the bill introduces new financial appropriations and directives aimed at enhancing support for rehabilitation services. The inclusion of these appropriations signifies a commitment to improving the quality of care and support for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the state.
