Pregnant individuals; DMAS to seek federal authority to implement presumptive eligibility.

The bill was amended from its original version to change how the Department of Medical Assistance Services can authorize entities to make presumptive eligibility determinations for pregnant individuals. The amendment narrows the initial list of required authorized entities to certified nurse midwives and licensed certified midwives, while allowing additional entities like Federally Qualified Health Centers and community action agencies to be authorized. It also adds a requirement for the Department to set performance standards for qualified entities.
