Medical Assistance
Under current law, DHFS administers the Medical Assistance (MA) program, which provides federal and state moneys to pay for health care and long-term care services provided to MA recipients. MA recipients are, generally, low-income, elderly, or disabled persons who meet other specific eligibility requirements. To be eligible for long-term care services under MA, an individual must meet certain very low income and resource requirements, and may have to "spend down" liquid assets by paying for his or her own long-term care until those income and resource requirements are met.
Current law requires DHFS to seek federal approval of a pilot project under which a person receiving benefits under a long-term care insurance policy that satisfies criteria established by DHFS may be eligible for MA even though the person's income and resources exceed the limits for eligibility. Current law also requires DHFS to include, as part of a program on long-term care insurance, allowing persons to retain excess assets for MA eligibility if they purchase long-term care insurance. This bill removes both of these requirements.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Transportation
Drivers and motor vehicles
Under current law, DOT collects various fees related to operator's licenses, including fees for the issuance or renewal of an operator's license, reinstatement of an operating privilege, adding operator's license endorsements, and removing operator's license restrictions.
This bill creates a new federal security verification mandate fee of $10, in addition to any other applicable fee, that must be paid to DOT for the issuance, renewal, upgrading, or reinstatement of any operator's license, endorsement, or instruction permit.
Under current law, DOT may issue an identification card to a resident of this state who does not possess a valid operator's license containing the person's photograph. An identification card is valid for four years and may be renewed for additional four-year periods. The fee for issuance or renewal of an identification card is $9.
Under this bill, the valid period for an identification card, and for each renewal period, is eight years and the fee for issuance or renewal is $18. The bill also creates a new federal security verification mandate fee of $10, in addition to any other applicable fee, that must be paid to DOT for the issuance, renewal, or reinstatement of an identification card.
