making an appropriation to the department of health and human services to support recreational activities for individuals with developmental disabilities and relative to the uncompensated care and Medicaid fund.

This bill allocates $500,000 to the Department of Health and Human Services to fund recreational activities for adults with developmental disabilities who have left the school system. The funding addresses a gap where Medicaid no longer covers these recreational services, allowing individuals to participate in community activities that support their health, socialization, and safety goals. To receive these funds, eligible individuals must be enrolled in a specific state waiver program, and the department will contract with organizations to administer the services, limiting payments to $600 per person. The department is required to submit interim and final reports to the fiscal committee by April and September 2025 to track how the money is used.
