The bill amends the composition of the Health and Human Services Commission Executive Council by adding new requirements for membership. Specifically, it mandates that the council include at least one parent or guardian of a child with a disability who is a Medicaid recipient, including those receiving services under a Medicaid waiver program. Additionally, the executive commissioner is granted the authority to appoint other individuals as deemed necessary. The bill also clarifies that members appointed under these new provisions serve at the executive commissioner's pleasure.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that members appointed under the new provisions may not receive compensation for their service but are entitled to reimbursement for travel expenses incurred while conducting council business, as outlined in the General Appropriations Act. The changes will take effect on September 1, 2025, and the executive commissioner is required to appoint the specified member as soon as practicable after the effective date.
