What changed between versions

Raised Bill APP Joint Favorable Substitute · 4 edits
MODERATE
The bill was revised from a 'Raised Bill' to a 'Joint Favorable Substitute' version, which typically means it has been amended to address concerns raised by legislative committees. The substantive policy content regarding the Katie Beckett Waiver Program remains largely the same, with the main change being a reorganization of the new sections and a slight adjustment in how information distribution is described.
Scope change
No substantive change to the bill's scope or applicability; the Katie Beckett Waiver Program provisions remain the same.
REQUIREMENT

Section 2 was renumbered and restructured. The original version had detailed requirements for creating a website portal with specific features. The substitute version simplifies this to require creating a brochure instead of a website, and distributes it to medical providers.

The detailed website requirements (portal for login, screening, waiting list updates, etc.) that were in the original bill were removed from the substitute version.

TECHNICAL

Page headers and bill numbers were updated to reflect the change from 'Raised Bill No. 7103' to 'Substitute Bill No. 7103' and from 'LCO No. 5310' to 'APP Joint Favorable Subst.' indicating the bill has been approved by the Appropriations Committee.

Section numbering was adjusted throughout the document, with the original Sections 2, 3, and 4 being reorganized and renumbered in the substitute version.
