Increases Medicaid reimbursement rates for certain behavioral health services provided to individuals under the age of twenty-one; directs that funds in the healthcare stability fund can be used for the funding of children's behavioral health outpatient rate increases.
This bill (S 4502) repeals a 2011 law that imposed an annual spending cap on state Medicaid funding and related administrative processes. It specifically removes Sections 91 and 92 of Chapter 59, which limited how much the state could spend on Medicaid each year. By eliminating this cap, the bill allows Medicaid funding to increase without the previous annual spending restriction. This change directly affects the state’s Medicaid program, which provides health coverage to low-income residents, by removing a barrier to funding growth. The repeal would take effect immediately upon enactment.

S 8238 modifies self-exclusion rules for gamblers who voluntarily ban themselves from casinos, racetracks, or other licensed gaming venues. It prohibits self-excluded individuals from collecting any winnings or recovering losses from gambling activity while excluded, requiring all such money or value to be forfeited to the state. Forfeited funds must be deposited into specific accounts based on the gambling type - such as the state lottery fund for lottery winnings or the commercial gaming revenue fund for casino losses. This bill directly affects gamblers who have chosen self-exclusion, ensuring they cannot benefit financially from prohibited gambling activity.
