This amendment eliminates the funding associated with the proposed Medicaid Reserve for Medicaid Initiatives in the introduced budget. The purpose of the initiative was to address the issue that, when initially funded, the full cost of policy changes to the Medicaid program are not recognized and that a reserve based on the projected incremental cost of the fully implemented policy change ensures that the base appropriation for the Medicaid program, the largest budget driver in the state budget, would better reflect past actions and reduce the future budget need that otherwise would be reflected in future Medicaid forecasts. While this amendment does remove the initiative, it also creates a workgroup to further evaluate the concept.
