Makes revisions relating to Medicaid. (BDR 38-110)
SB 300 requires Nevada Medicaid to cover mental health services provided by mental health counselors - including substance use and gambling counselors - at federally-qualified health centers, expanding existing coverage that already includes psychiatrists, psychologists, and other specialists. This directly affects Nevada Medicaid beneficiaries who access care at these centers and mental health counselors who can now bill Medicaid for their services. The bill mandates the state to seek federal funding for this expanded coverage and aligns Nevada law with recent federal changes allowing Medicaid reimbursement for these services. It does not change eligibility for beneficiaries but adds specific provider types to covered services under Medicaid.

MINOR
The bill was converted from a draft reprint to its final enrolled version, making it ready for signing into law. The substantive policy content regarding Medicaid coverage for opioid treatment and mental health services remains identical to the draft, with no changes to the actual rules or funding.
Scope change
The bill's scope and applicability are unchanged; the text represents the same legislative intent as the previous version.
TECHNICAL
Removed draft headers, committee referral information, and explanatory notes that were only present in the working version.
Added the official 'Chapter' title and the formal 'Enactment' language required for a bill to become law.
Reformatted the Legislative Counsel's Digest and section text to match the standard layout of an enrolled Nevada statute.
