Senate Bill 24 & House Bill 46 take major steps to address government mandates that raise healthcare costs.
The legislation would ensure that if any new mandates are passed, an equal number must also be repealed to help offset the cost. In addition, the bill protects taxpayers and the State Health Plan by ensuring that any new mandate also contains funding to pay for its added cost. Actions related to these bills will be factored into a member’s Affordable Healthcare Scorecard grade at the close of the legislative session.
