MODERATE

This bill transforms a withdrawn Senate amendment into a new House bill (HB 1099, SD1) that authorizes an emergency appropriation of $5,467,164 to the Department of Human Services. The funds are intended to reinvest half of a federal penalty assessed due to high Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program payment error rates, specifically to develop a new eligibility system that will reduce future errors and potentially avoid paying the remaining penalty. The bill also formally declares that this appropriation exceeds the state's general fund expenditure ceiling for fiscal year 2024-2025.

Scope change

The bill's scope changed from a withdrawn Senate floor amendment to a new House bill with substantive policy content regarding emergency funding and penalty reinvestment.

FISCAL

Added an emergency appropriation of $5,467,164 for fiscal year 2024-2025 to support the development of a new eligibility system for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

REQUIREMENT

Added findings explaining that the Department of Human Services must reinvest 50% of a $10,934,327 federal penalty to reduce payment error rates below the national average of 11.68%.

TIMELINE

Added a provision declaring that the state general fund expenditure ceiling for fiscal year 2024-2025 is exceeded by $8,551,796 and will be further exceeded by $5,467,164 due to this appropriation.
