NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A5652
 
SPONSOR: Barclay (MS)
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the social services law, in relation to requiring the state to allow counties to opt out of certain Medicaid services   PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To allow counties to opt out of providing optional Medicaid services to new enrollees.   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 amends section 365-a of the Social Services Law to require the state to allow counties to opt out of providing optional Medicaid services to new enrollees. Also, authorizes the Commissioner of Health to apply for federal waivers required to implement the provisions of this act. Section 2 contains the effective date.   JUSTIFICATION: New York State's combined Medicaid spending is among the highest in the nation, more than Texas and Florida combined. This legislation could lower local Medicaid costs by allowing county governments to choose which optional services to provide to new enrollees.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: A5462 (2023-24) Referred to Health A4830 (2021-22) Held in Health A2806 (2019-20) Held in Health A2938 (2017-18) Held in Health A4072 (2015-16) Held in Health A1573 (2013-14) Held in Health A1104 (2011-12 Referred to Health A11281 (2010) Referred to Health   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: Significant savings to local governments.
