Make Medicaid expansion permanent

LC 1156 aimed to make the state's current Medicaid expansion program permanent, ensuring continued health coverage for low-income adults who qualify under the existing expansion. The bill would have eliminated the need for annual legislative approval of the expansion, providing stable, long-term access to Medicaid for this population. However, the bill died in committee on May 23, 2025, and did not become law, so the expansion remains subject to annual legislative review.
