MS HR38

Requests the House Rules Committee to reconsider or suspend its rules to take further action on Senate Bill No. 2207, which the committee tabled on February 14, 2013.

Four Mississippi Medicaid Law code sections are subject to repeal on July 1, 2013, including provisions creating the Division of Medicaid and authorizing healthcare facility assessments for program funding.

Senate Bill No. 2207 would extend the repeal dates for these vital Medicaid provisions and remains the only available bill to address the impending repealer deadline before the March 5, 2013 committee reporting deadline.

Failure to extend the repealer dates before July 1, 2013 would have disastrous consequences for Medicaid recipients and providers, making immediate legislative action imperative.
