Plain-language change summary

The changes to Bill SB 160 include the addition of a definition for "ABA service" and its corresponding "ABA service reimbursement rate." This clarification helps to explicitly outline what applied behavior analysis services are and how their reimbursement rates are determined by Medicaid. This matters because it provides clear guidelines for funding and access to these essential mental health services, ensuring that they are appropriately supported under Medicaid.
