Committee amends House Bill 13-22, lowering proposed reimbursement cap from 400% to 250% and advances bill
Summary
The committee reconsidered House Bill 13-22, approved an amendment changing a referenced reimbursement figure from 400% to 250% and then voted to advance the bill as amended.
The House Human Services Committee reconsidered and amended House Bill 13-22 to change a reimbursement figure cited in the bill from 400% of Medicare to 250% of Medicare before recommending the bill for passage as amended.
The committee first moved to reconsider the item and then a member explained the amendment: additional information received after initial drafting indicated the correct figure was 250 percent rather than 400 percent. Members approved the amendment by voice vote and then voted to give the bill a “do pass as amended” recommendation. The clerk’s roll call recorded the final tally as 12 yes, 0 no, 1 absent.
The committee did not record further substantive discussion about programmatic impacts in the transcript excerpt; the amendment was described as a technical correction to a reimbursement percentage on the bill’s line 23.
The committee advanced the bill with the corrected reimbursement figure; the sponsor said they would continue to carry the bill forward.
