STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27618 / S1288
This is an FY 2020 supplemental appropriation bill for the Department of Health and Welfare for State Hospital
South (SHS).
The supplemental appropriation is necessary to align the hospital's appropriation with the correct fund source for
revenues and expenditures related to the nursing facility at SHS. The shift is the result of Medicaid implementing
a new managed care plan for this population.
FISCAL NOTE
This bill reduces the General Fund appropriation by $400,000, reduces the federal fund appropriation by
$2,000,000, and provides an additional $2,400,000 in dedicated fund appropriation for a net-zero change in
the program's total appropriation.
