	Committee: Health and Human Services
Fiscal Note
Current biennium cost increase - General Fund Potential current biennium savings - General Fund
Fiscal Detail and Notes
	The bill's requirements to consolidate long-term care services would result in current biennium administrative costs from the development and implementation of a single intake and eligibility determination system, a single needs assessment, a uniform rate-setting process, and changes to the program and accounting structure. Consolidating and restructuring the long-term care system also has the potential for producing savings. The bill lacks sufficient detail for these costs and potential savings to be determined at this time.
