MODERATE
This bill was amended to change the legal authority it modifies and clarify its purpose. The original version sought to expand Medicaid coverage under the Social Services Law, while the amended version now directs funding through the Public Health Law specifically for active duty military members and their families accessing abortion services in states where such services are illegal.
Scope change
The bill's scope shifted from general Medicaid expansion to targeted funding specifically for military personnel and dependents, with a change in the statutory authority from Social Services Law to Public Health Law.
FISCAL
Changed the funding mechanism from Medicaid coverage under the Social Services Law to direct funding under the Public Health Law.
ELIGIBILITY
Clarified that services are for active duty military members or their spouses/dependents, rather than general Medicaid recipients.
REQUIREMENT
Added specific requirement that services must be unavailable in the recipient's current location due to legal restrictions.
TECHNICAL
Changed the bill number designation from A928 to A928A to reflect committee action and amendment.
