This bill amends the Social Welfare Act of 1939 by adding a new section, 109u, which mandates that the Department of Health and Human Services provide coverage for prescribed pediatric extended care under the medical assistance program. This care is defined under part 219A of the Public Health Code, specifically referencing sections 333.21951 to 333.21971.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that it will not take effect unless either Senate Bill No. ____ or House Bill No. 5252 of the 103rd Legislature is enacted into law. This conditional enactment ensures that the provisions of this bill are aligned with other legislative actions.
