What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Revenue (DOR) may impose an

assessment on ambulatory surgical centers. The Department of Health Services

allocates any assessment among the ambulatory surgical centers in proportion to

their gross patient revenue. The DOR, if it imposes an assessment, must transfer

99.5 percent of the moneys collected to the Medical Assistance trust fund, which pays

some of the costs for the Medical Assistance program. This bill eliminates on July

1, 2013, the ability for DOR to impose this assessment on ambulatory surgical

centers.
