Concerning the provision of medical assistance to individuals in juvenile detention facilities.

The bill title changed from 'Substitute Senate Bill' to 'Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill', indicating it has been approved by both the House and Senate.

Section numbers were adjusted (e.g., former Section 2 became Section 3) to make room for the new introductory section.

Formatting changes were made to align the expiration dates of specific sections with the new structure, explicitly stating that Sections 5 through 7 expire on July 1, 2026.

A new introductory section was added to explain the legislature's intent to clarify statutes and ensure facilities document their efforts to coordinate care with providers before a youth is released.

Updated the definition of 'correctional facility' to include specific juvenile detention and youth facilities, ensuring these locations are covered under the bill's medical assistance provisions.

Added a new requirement for the health care authority to apply for a federal waiver to provide Medicaid services up to 30 days prior to a person's release, focusing on continuity of care and reentry services.

Modified eligibility criteria to ensure medical assistance benefits are suspended rather than terminated for individuals confined in the newly defined facilities, and streamlined the reinstatement process upon release.

Changed the bill type from 'Senate Bill' to 'Substitute Senate Bill' and updated the sponsor information to reflect the Senate Human Services committee.
