and Notes |

|
|
|
The bill requires
the Department of Health and Human Services to reimburse a municipality for
the amount of general assistance provided to an individual in an emergency
situation that is in excess of the maximum level of assistance established by
that municipality. This will increase assistance amounts reimbursed to
municipalities by the Department of Health and Human Services. A more precise
estimate of the fiscal impact is not possible because recipient data related
to number of emergency situations and the amounts paid to recipients above
the maximum resides at the municipal level and varies over time. |
