Currently, the state imposes a monthly, per-bed assessment on nursing homes in an amount that may not exceed $75. This bill increases the maximum amount of the monthly, per-bed assessment imposed on nursing homes to $150 in state fiscal year 2009-10, and $170 in each year thereafter.
Medical assistance
Under current law, people generally have a right to an administrative appeal of actions by state agencies. Current law also specifically requires that DHS establish a mechanism for reviewing petitions from nursing homes for modification of MA payments and develop criteria for granting modifications. Upon conducting a review, DHS may modify an MA payment to a nursing home, as long as the modified payment does not exceed federal maximum reimbursement levels. The bill repeals the requirement that DHS establish a mechanism for reviewing petitions from nursing homes to modify MA payments.

Current law imposes a cap on the number of nursing home beds that may be licensed statewide. DHS allocates the number of authorized licensed beds among seven planning areas. DHS further allocates beds authorized for a planning area among nursing homes that apply for the beds. A nursing home may transfer an authorized licensed bed to another nursing home if the receiving nursing home is in the same planning area as the transferring nursing home or in a county adjoining the planing area, if the transferring and receiving nursing homes are under common ownership, and if the nursing homes notify DHS of the transfer and DHS approves it.
This bill allows a nursing home to transfer an authorized licensed bed to another nursing home regardless of location and ownership of the nursing homes as long as the nursing homes notify DHS and DHS approves the transfer.

employment
Currently, DWD operates an employment service that assists unemployed individuals in finding suitable employment. This program is funded with federal revenue. In addition, the federal government provides special grants to this state that may be used for the purpose of unemployment insurance (UI) administration, for the payment of UI benefits, or for certain other purposes.
This bill permits the employment service program to be funded, in addition, from the special federal grants. The change potentially increases the liability of employers to finance UI benefits through contributions (taxes).
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
