What’s in it

This bill relates to the more options for maternal support (MOMS) program.41C, the MOMS program is required to be administered by the department of health and human services (HHS) through an administrator selected by a request for proposals (RFP) process. The bill amends this provision to authorize HHS to either administer the program directly through contracts with providers of pregnancy support services (providers), or through a program administrator selected through an RFP process. The bill also eliminates the reference to subcontractors and instead refers to providers and makes requirements for the former subcontractors applicable to these providers.

Read the full explanation

The bill eliminates the requirement that HHS publish the program administrator and subcontractor criteria on the HHS internet site. The bill changes the date by which HHS is required to begin submitting an annual report regarding the program to the general assembly from October 1, 2023, to October 1, 2024.41C to reflect the optional use of a program administrator and the elimination of program subcontractors. The bill takes effect upon enactment and is retroactively applicable to July 1, 2022, the original effective date of the Code section.
