Currently, certain adult family homes (those in which three or four adults who are not related to the operator reside and receive care) are licensed by DHFS or by county departments of human services, social services, developmental disabilities services, or community programs. The biennial license fee for such an adult family home is $135. Also currently, community-based residential facilities are licensed by DHFS; the biennial license fee for a community-based residential facility is $306, plus a biennial fee of $39.60 for each resident the community-based residential facility is licensed to serve.
This bill requires that, after March 31, 2008, the amounts of the biennial fees for licensed adult family homes and community-based residential facilities shall be established in rules required to be promulgated by DHFS.

Current law imposes an environmental repair fee on solid and hazardous waste disposed of at a waste disposal facility (such as a landfill). This type of fee is often called a tipping fee. The environmental repair fee is 50 cents per ton, except that the fee is lower for mining waste and certain kinds of high-volume industrial waste. The environmental repair fee is deposited into the environmental fund.
This bill increases the environmental repair fee on solid and hazardous waste, other than mining waste and certain kinds of high-volume industrial waste, to $1.60 per ton.

Health and human services
Public assistance
Under current law, DHFS provides financial assistance for the cost of medical care to persons with chronic kidney disease, cystic fibrosis, and hemophilia. This assistance is collectively referred to as the Chronic Disease Program. This bill makes the following changes to the Chronic Disease Program:
1. Eliminates the requirement that rates paid by DHFS for services provided for the treatment of chronic kidney disease must be equal to or not exceed the allowable charges under the federal Medicare program.
2. Prohibits a provider of a service to a person under the Chronic Disease Program from billing the patient for any difference between the amount the state pays under the program and the provider's charge for the service. Currently this prohibition only applies with respect to services for the treatment of chronic kidney disease.
3. Authorizes DHFS to investigate suspected fraudulent activity and other abuses on the part of persons receiving benefits under the Chronic Disease Program.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
