Relating to prohibiting the use of certain criteria to determine certain individuals' eligibility for benefits under a Medicaid waiver program.

It amends state law to explicitly ban using IQ tests as a requirement for these specific waiver benefits. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025, though implementation may be delayed if federal agency authorization is needed.
