HB 2555 Kansas House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Requiring grant applications, expenditure information, reports and other documentation concerning the rural health transformation program to be presented and provided to the state finance council, house of representatives committee on appropriations, senate committee on ways and means and legislative budget committee.

HB 2555 requires all grant applications, expenditure reports, and documentation related to Kansas' rural health transformation program (funded partly by federal Medicare/Medicaid dollars) to be submitted to specific state committees. It mandates that these materials be presented to the state finance council, the House Appropriations Committee, the Senate Ways and Means Committee, and the Legislative Budget Committee. The bill directly affects state health programs administering federal funds under this initiative, requiring them to share detailed financial and operational information with legislative oversight bodies. This is a procedural transparency measure, not a policy change to health services or funding.

As Amended by House Committee on Appropriations Enrolled · 3 edits · Mar 23, 2026
MINOR
The bill was finalized into its enrolled form, removing committee-specific headers and adding standard certification signatures required for a bill to become law. The substantive policy content regarding rural health grant reporting remains unchanged.
TECHNICAL

Removed the 'As Amended by House Committee' header and the specific amendment date (1-27), as these are no longer relevant once the bill is fully enacted.

Added standard certification text, signature lines for the Speaker of the House, President of the Senate, and Governor, and the effective date clause, which are required to officially enact the bill.

Reformatted the text to remove line numbers and page markers used during the legislative process, converting it to the final clean version of the law.
