Page 322, line 8, strike "$276,772,471" and insert "$278,056,471".
Page 322, line 8, strike "$274,108,171" and insert "$274,854,171".

Page 328, after line 27, insert:

"Y.  Out of this appropriation, $507,500 the first year and $373,000 the second year from the general fund and $776,500 the first year and $373,000 the second year from nongeneral funds shall be provided to fund the administrative costs for the department's fiscal and employer agent and managed care organizations due to exempting live-in caretakers from the electronic visit verification requirement."

 

even though we have no idea why DMAS thinks this will cost because live ins are identified and fiscal agents already treat them very differently and they could just keep using the portal
