Plain-language change summary

The recent update to House Bill 477 includes a change to the numbering of the lines in the document, but the key content remains the same. Specifically, it clarifies that alternative care locations cannot be set up until the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) approves the necessary state plan amendments or waivers. This adjustment is important because it ensures that any changes made to how Medicaid responds to behavioral health crises receive the appropriate oversight and approval, which helps maintain quality care for patients in need.
