Health care access fund transfers prohibition
This bill prohibits moving money from Minnesota's Health Care Access Fund to other state funds, with very limited exceptions. It ensures that any spending from the fund must align with how the program was funded in the 1990s or be part of a specific federal health care waiver. The law also blocks transfers to other state accounts unless they go to a designated special revenue fund. These rules directly affect how the state manages and spends the money set aside for MinnesotaCare.
