Relates to obtaining certain employment and income data of individuals eligible for medical assistance

This bill would allow the state health commissioner to collect current employment and income information from individuals eligible for medical assistance programs. The commissioner could obtain this data directly from employers through third-party consumer reporting agencies or via federal information exchanges, supplementing existing state records. The stated purpose is to improve decision-making speed, reduce costs, and ensure timely service delivery to eligible beneficiaries. The law would take effect immediately upon passage.
