A 2248 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires DHS and DOH to conduct study on projected impact of federal Medicaid funding cuts.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Human Services and Department of Health to jointly study how federal Medicaid funding cuts (from H.R.1/Pub.L.119-21) would impact the state. The study must analyze effects on hospitals, long-term care facilities, transportation providers, Medicaid eligibility, and state/local budgets. The departments must complete the study within 90 days and submit a public report to the Governor and Legislature with findings and recommendations for maintaining Medicaid services. The bill expires once the report is submitted. It is a procedural study mandate, not a policy change.
