AHCCCS; family planning services

SB 1696 amends Arizona law to expand eligibility for family planning services under AHCCCS (Arizona's Medicaid program). It extends two years of voluntary family planning services to women whose prior eligibility under Section 36-2901 ended after March 1, 1995, beginning after their pregnancy ends. The bill also adds eligibility for individuals with household income between 133% and 200% of the federal poverty level for family planning services, supplies, and related care. These provisions are limited to services already authorized under existing law (Section 36-2907, subsection A, paragraph 8). The bill is currently in early legislative stages (Senate First and Second Readings in February 2025).
