AN ACT CONCERNING A FULLY STAFFED STATE MEDICAID FRAUD CONTROL UNIT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT.

SB 169 requires Connecticut's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (within the Chief State's Attorney's office) to be fully staffed according to federal standards set by the Affordable Care Act. This directly affects the state's Medicaid program by mandating adequate staffing to combat fraud, waste, and misuse of public funds. The bill's key mechanism is amending state law to align staffing levels with ACA requirements, ensuring the unit has sufficient resources to investigate fraud. It focuses on strengthening oversight of Medicaid funds without altering benefit eligibility or provider rules.
