Plain-language change summary

The updated version of House Bill 1941 now requires the authority to submit a state plan by October 1, 2024, instead of the original January 1, 2025. Additionally, it mandates a detailed status report to be provided by December 1, 2024, which will include financial modeling, expected utilization, and provider availability data. These changes are significant because they set earlier deadlines for accountability and transparency in planning, ensuring that necessary resources and support for health home programs are effectively addressed before implementation.
