Under current law, DATCP awards grants to counties for programs to collect unwanted agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides, and agricultural chemical containers. DATCP also awards grants to assist local programs for the collection and disposal of household hazardous waste and unwanted prescription drugs. Both kinds of programs are commonly called clean sweep programs. The grants for clean sweep programs are funded from the recycling and renewable energy fund. This bill eliminates the grants for clean sweep programs.

health and human services
Medical Assistance
Currently physical therapy, occupational therapy, and services for speech, hearing, or language disorders (therapy services) are covered under MA if provided by a person who is certified by DHS to provide the service. DHS currently does not certify special educators to provide these services under MA. Also currently, DHS oversees the Birth to 3 Program, under which counties provide services to infants and toddlers with developmental delays.
This bill provides that if a county spends more to provide MA covered therapy services for children participating in the Birth to 3 Program than the county is reimbursed under standard MA reimbursement rates, and the federal government reimburses the state the federal share of MA for the county expenditures that are in excess of the standard MA reimbursement, DHS may disburse the federal share on the excess county expenditures to the county. The bill also provides that services to assess and promote skill acquisition that are provided by special educators to children participating in the Birth to 3 Program are covered under MA if the county pays the entire state share of MA for the services. The bill requires DHS to establish certification criteria for special educators. Finally, the bill requires that if the state disburses to a county the federal share of MA for therapy services, or services provided by special educators, for children participating in the Birth to 3 Program, the county must spend that money to provide services under the Birth to 3 Program or under the Disabled Children's Long-Term Support Program.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
