The bill amends section 409.904 of the Florida Statutes to extend Medicaid eligibility to specified low-income adults. It introduces a new subsection (13), which states that the agency may provide medical assistance and related services to adults who meet the criteria outlined in 42 U.S.C. s. 1396a(a)(10)(A)(i)(VIII). This change aims to broaden access to Medicaid for eligible individuals, ensuring that more low-income adults can receive necessary medical support.

The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, allowing time for the necessary adjustments to be made within the Medicaid program. The eligibility for these services will still be subject to income, assets, and categorical eligibility tests as defined by federal and state law, as well as the availability of funds and any limitations established by the General Appropriations Act or chapter 216.
