Adds to existing law to provide for legislative approval of Medicaid state plan amendments and waivers.

This legislation amends Chapter 2, Title 56, to create Section 56-270, Idaho Code, to require legislative approval of waivers and state plan amendments. This prohibits the state Department of Health and Welfare from seeking or implementing a Medicaid State Plan or a waiver pursuant to Section 1115 or 1915 of the Social Security Act without legislative approval provided in statute. This legislation does not affect pre-existing state plan amendment or waiver programs implemented prior to this legislation taking effect.
