Establishes specific component value percentages and wage calculation methodologies for different service categories, with regular updates to base wage index on January 1, 2022, November 1, 2024, and every two years thereafter based on Bureau of Labor Statistics data.

Requires at least 80 percent of marginal rate increases from January 1, 2022 through March 31, 2024 to be used for direct employee compensation, with providers required to post distribution plans showing how funds will be allocated.

Creates new reporting requirements including biennial competitive workforce factor analysis, provider cost data submission at least once every five years, and annual labor market data collection from providers on wages, benefits, vacancies, and retention rates.

Establishes July 1, 2022 as the effective date and directs the revisor of statutes to update cross-references and incorporate any related statutory changes from the 2022 legislative session.
