Medicaid; bring forward section that provides for assessments on certain healthcare facilities to provide funding for the program.

HB 1146 is a procedural bill that moves Section 43-13-145 of the Mississippi Code (which outlines assessments on healthcare facilities to fund Medicaid) to a new location in the code for easier amendment. It does not change existing assessment rules but repositions the section to streamline future legislative updates. The current section requires nursing homes, intellectual disability facilities, psychiatric treatment centers, and hospitals to pay annual assessments based on federal limits and state Medicaid funding levels, with exemptions for certain government-operated facilities. This bill has no direct policy changes - it only adjusts the code's structure.
