What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
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.
