What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the Children's Long-Term Support Home and
Community-Based Medicaid waiver programs (CLTS waiver programs) provide
funding through the Medical Assistance program to support services for children
who are living at home or in the community and whose activities are limited as a
result of a developmental disability, severe emotional disturbance, or physical
disability. Beginning in the 2013-14 fiscal year, this bill requires the Department
of Health Services (DHS) to enroll in a CLTS waiver program and provide full
benefits to 482 children who are on the waiting list for a CLTS waiver program on
the effective date of this bill. The bill also requires DHS, in the 2013-14 fiscal year,
to provide eight hours of services per month for six months of the year through a
CLTS waiver program to 300 children who are on the waiting list for a CLTS program
on the effective date of this bill.
