AN ACT REQUIRING LEGISLATIVE CONFIRMATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICE'S MEDICAID DIRECTOR.

SB 175 requires state legislators to confirm the appointment of the Medicaid Director for the Department of Social Services. This bill changes the process by mandating legislative approval for this key position, rather than allowing the appointment to be made solely by the governor or department head. The bill directly affects the Department of Social Services' leadership structure and the appointment of its Medicaid Director. It does not alter Medicaid program rules, funding, or service delivery.
