This bill amends Section 31-3502 of the Idaho Code to clarify eligibility for financial assistance related to Medicaid. Specifically, it removes the reference to Section 56-267, indicating that individuals eligible for Medicaid under this section will not qualify for financial assistance as defined in the chapter as it existed on March 1, 2022. The bill also emphasizes that individuals eligible for health insurance or those in commitment proceedings under Chapter 3, Title 66, Idaho Code, are similarly ineligible for financial assistance.

Additionally, the bill repeals Sections 56-267 and 56-2205 of the Idaho Code, which pertained to Medicaid eligibility expansion and legislative approval for Medicaid expansion limits, respectively. The effective date for this act is set for January 1, 2028, allowing for a transition period before the changes take effect.
