The General Assembly Raised Bill No. 7189 aims to enhance Medicaid cost savings by requiring the Commissioner of Social Services to review and study the nurse delegation of medication administration within Medicaid-funded programs. Specifically, the bill mandates the commissioner to assess the potential cost savings associated with expanding the use of nurse delegation as outlined in section 19a-492e of the general statutes.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that by October 1, 2025, the commissioner must submit a report to the relevant joint standing committees of the General Assembly, detailing the costs and benefits of this expansion. The bill introduces new legal language to establish this requirement, while no deletions from current law are specified.
