The bill authorizes various payments from the state general fund to specific claimants for lost property and for failure to timely process requests for home and community-based services eligibility. The Kansas Department of Corrections is directed to pay a total of $180.04 to four individuals from the Hutchinson, Larned, and Lansing correctional facilities for lost property. Additionally, the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment are each directed to pay $3,100 to Hillside Village, LLC for reimbursement losses due to delays in processing HCBS eligibility requests.
Furthermore, the bill stipulates that the director of accounts and reports is authorized to draw warrants in favor of the claimants upon proper execution of vouchers by the state agencies involved. It also requires that a written release and satisfaction of all claims against the state be secured prior to any payments being made. The act will take effect upon its publication in the Kansas register.
