Summary

The committee approved repeal of the standalone Consumer Directed Services chapter so it can be consolidated into the broader Medicaid rule chapter; department staff said the chapter was omitted from prior legislative consolidation and is now being folded into the single Medicaid docket.

Jared Larson told the committee the Consumer Directed Services chapter was overlooked in prior legislation consolidating Medicaid rules under House Bill 345 and that the department is now repealing that standalone chapter and consolidating its content into the consolidated Medicaid chapter. "This just, repeals that chapter along with the others and is consolidated in every respect substantively," Larson said.

Representative Redmond moved to approve the repeal docket for Consumer Directed Services; the committee approved the motion by voice vote and the docket carried. Department staff stood ready to answer any technical follow-up questions about how services will be administered under the consolidated chapter.
