Fiscal Detail and Notes
Authorizing the Department of Human Services to adopt rules that have retroactive application could result in an increase in federal funding and "savings" in state spending.  Whether there are specific rules and "savings" beyond those already assumed in the department's budget\appropriations that would be affected by this legislation cannot be determined at this time.
