The bill CS/CS/HB 1103 amends Florida Statutes to enhance services for individuals with developmental disabilities by improving transparency and accountability within the system. Key provisions include the requirement for the Agency for Persons with Disabilities to provide clients with a list of qualified organizations within five days of enrollment and to post quarterly reconciliation reports on its website. The agency is also mandated to participate in transition planning for clients aged 18 to 22 and to revise the online Medicaid application process to allow for crisis enrollment. Additionally, the bill establishes a Statewide Family Care Council to facilitate communication between local councils and the agency, with local councils required to report policy changes and program recommendations annually.

The bill further modifies the Medicaid long-term care managed care program by removing a comprehensive list of specific services previously covered and replacing the term "services" with "benefits" regarding provider qualifications. It mandates that providers meet qualifications established by the agency and requires participating plans to conduct individualized assessments of enrollees within five days of enrollment. The agency is tasked with monitoring the pilot program, conducting audits, and submitting progress reports, with the first report due by August 30, 2025. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and aims to improve the governance and operational efficiency of family care councils while ensuring access to necessary services for individuals with developmental disabilities.
