| 1 | | in the bill. The bill shall be held on second reading until the | 2 | | note has been received.
| 3 | | Section 10. Request for and delivery of note. The | 4 | | statement prepared by the Director of Healthcare and Family | 5 | | Services shall be designated a Medicaid Budget and Impact Note. | 6 | | A copy of the Medicaid Budget and Impact Note shall be | 7 | | furnished to the Clerk of the House of Representatives or the | 8 | | Secretary of the Senate, as appropriate, within 7 business days | 9 | | after the bill is approved by the committee to which it is | 10 | | assigned. The Clerk or the Secretary shall procedurally review | 11 | | the note to ensure each of the items in Section 15 is contained | 12 | | in the note; however, neither the Clerk nor the Secretary shall | 13 | | review the note for the accuracy of its contents. If the Clerk | 14 | | or the Secretary determines that the note does not contain the | 15 | | information required in Section 15, the note shall not be | 16 | | accepted and shall be promptly returned the Director of | 17 | | Healthcare and Family Services, who shall revise and resubmit | 18 | | the note as soon as is possible, but no later than 2 days after | 19 | | its return. If the Clerk or the Secretary determines the note | 20 | | contains the information required in Section 15, the Director | 21 | | of Healthcare and Family Services shall furnish a copy to the | 22 | | presiding officer of each house, the minority leader of each | 23 | | house, the Clerk of the House of Representatives, the Secretary | 24 | | of the Senate, the sponsor of the bill that is the subject of | 25 | | the note. If the Director determines that additional time is |
| | | 09700SB3680sam001 | - 3 - | LRB097 20232 JDS 68031 a |
|
| 1 | | required for the preparation of the note because of the | 2 | | complexity of the bill, the Department may so notify the | 3 | | sponsor of the bill and ask for an extension of time not to | 4 | | exceed 5 additional days within which the note is to be | 5 | | furnished. No extension of time shall extend beyond May 15 | 6 | | following the date of the request. | 7 | | Section 15. Contents of note. The note shall be factual in | 8 | | nature, as brief and concise as may be, and shall provide as | 9 | | reliable an estimate in terms of dollar and programmatic | 10 | | impact, as is possible under the circumstances, and signed by | 11 | | the Director of Healthcare and Family Services or such person | 12 | | as the Director may designate. The note shall include, but not | 13 | | be limited to, the following information: | 14 | | (1) the immediate fiscal effect of the measure, the fully | 15 | | annualized fiscal effect of the measure once implemented, and, | 16 | | if determinable or reasonably foreseeable, the long-range | 17 | | fiscal effect of the measure; | 18 | | (2) a brief explanation of the purpose and anticipated | 19 | | result of the measure; | 20 | | (3) a list of the methodologies and data sources relied | 21 | | upon by the Director to respond to the note request, including | 22 | | without limitation, all assumptions and formulas; | 23 | | (4) the projected increase or decrease in program | 24 | | enrollment by category, including, but not limited to, | 25 | | projections for each of the following categories of persons: |

If an agency receives such a request, it shall | 21 | | assist the Department of Healthcare and Family Services in a | 22 | | manner that allows the Director to meet the statutory deadlines | 23 | | set forth in Section 10 of this Act. | 24 | | Section 20.

in such manner | 8 | | as to bring it within the description of bills set forth
in | 9 | | Section 5 above, a majority of such house may propose that no | 10 | | action
shall be taken upon the amendment until the Director of | 11 | | Healthcare and Family Services presents
a note that complies | 12 | | with the requirements of this Act.
