AN ACT ESTABLISHING AN INTERAGENCY TASK FORCE TO STREAMLINE MUNICIPAL MEDICAID BILLING.

SB 1478 establishes a task force to simplify how municipalities bill for Medicaid-covered school-based health services. The task force includes state education and social services officials, a policy management representative, and a municipal organization member, and must create a streamlined billing plan by September 2026. It requires monthly meetings and a legislative report by October 2026, but does not change Medicaid eligibility or payment rules. The bill has no fiscal impact on the state or municipalities, as the task force will use existing agency expertise.
