The bill proposes the repeal of several provisions related to state assistance for individuals experiencing chronic renal failure. Specifically, it seeks to eliminate sections 28-6A-2, 28-6A-8, 28-6A-10, 28-6A-12, and 28-6A-13 from current law, which collectively outline the establishment of a program by the Department of Social Services to provide care and treatment for those requiring dialysis or transplants. The deleted provisions include details on financial assistance for medical services, eligibility criteria, and the authority of the secretary of social services to contract with agencies and promulgate rules for administering the program.

By repealing these sections, the bill effectively removes the state's obligation to assist individuals with chronic renal failure who lack the financial means to pay for necessary medical treatments. This legislative change signifies a shift away from state-funded support for this vulnerable population, potentially leaving them without critical resources for managing their health conditions.
