HB 2463 Kansas House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Creating the rural health transformation fund, prescribing powers and duties of the state finance council concerning such fund and the rural health transformation program, crediting all federal moneys for the rural health transformation program to such fund and making and concerning appropriations for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2026, and June 30, 2027, for the state finance council and other state agencies.

HB 2463 establishes a dedicated "rural health transformation fund" in Kansas to manage federal funds for rural health programs. It requires all federal moneys received from programs like Medicare/Medicaid for rural health initiatives to be deposited into this fund, which is administered by the State Finance Council. The bill mandates that funds can only be spent on approved rural health programs after legislative appropriation and council review, with unspent funds to be returned to the federal government by October 1, 2032. State agencies like the Department of Health and Aging Services will use these funds for rural health services, subject to strict oversight and reporting requirements.
