The proposed legislation, General Assembly Raised Bill No. 1333, aims to establish a working group tasked with studying the quality metrics program for nursing home services managed by the Department of Social Services. This working group will be chaired by the chairpersons of the joint standing committee of the General Assembly that oversees aging matters, and will include members such as the Commissioner of Social Services or their designee, along with professionals experienced in Medicaid reimbursement for nursing home services. The first meeting of the working group is required to occur within sixty days of the bill's passage.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the working group submit a report detailing its findings and recommendations to the relevant joint standing committee by January 1, 2026. The working group will be dissolved upon the submission of this report or on January 1, 2026, whichever occurs later. The bill introduces new legal language to establish this working group and its functions, while also specifying the timeline for meetings and reporting, thereby enhancing the oversight of Medicaid reimbursement processes for nursing homes.
