This bill appropriates funds to the Department of Health and Human Services for the fiscal years 2025-26 and 2026-27, specifically targeting programs related to Medicaid. For FY2025-26, it allocates $8,798 from the Medicaid Managed Care Excess Profit Fund and $19,223 from federal funds for Program 344, and $69,777 from the Medicaid Managed Care Excess Profit Fund and $85,802 from federal funds for Program 348. For FY2026-27, the bill provides $7,655 from the Medicaid Managed Care Excess Profit Fund and $16,305 from federal funds for Program 344, and $72,860 from the Medicaid Managed Care Excess Profit Fund and $86,780 from federal funds for Program 348.

The bill stipulates that the appropriated funds for both fiscal years are designated solely for state aid purposes and explicitly prohibits any expenditures for permanent and temporary salaries and per diems for state employees from these appropriated funds. This ensures that the funds are utilized directly for the intended Medicaid programs without being diverted to administrative costs.
