A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact subsection 3 of section 50-24.1-40 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the tribal health care coordination fund.

Maddy summaryHB 1461 would have created a state-funded tribal health care coordination fund to support tribal governments in North Dakota. The bill required the state to distribute funds to tribes based on their federal care coordination funding, with strict rules: funds must cover specific public health services (capping capital construction at 50% until 2025, then 35%), and tribes would need to submit annual reports and biennial audits by independent auditors. The state would withhold funds for late reports or misuse, and could resume payments once compliance was verified. This bill was introduced in January 2025 but withdrawn before further consideration.

A BILL for an Act to create and enact a new section to chapter 50-24.1 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to paid family caregiver services.

Maddy summarySB 2318 would have required North Dakota's Medicaid program to create paid family caregiver services for eligible individuals in home and community-based waiver programs (excluding the aged and disabled waiver). It would have mandated payments to legally responsible family caregivers at rates matching professional direct support wages, capped at 40 hours per week, and required an evidence-based assessment considering individual needs like medical care and social circumstances. The bill also specified that an advisory council must review the program's design and assessment methods. However, the bill was introduced on January 20, 2025, and withdrawn the same day without committee action.
