Reinserts the provisions of the engrossed bill, but with the following changes: In provisions requiring the Community Care Program Medicaid Initiative to provide targeted funding to care coordination units to help seniors complete their applications for medical assistance, provides that care coordination units shall receive payment for each completed application (rather than care coordination units shall receive payment for each completed application for those months in which the total statewide number of medical assistance applications all care coordination units helped seniors complete is at or above the total statewide number of medical assistance applications completed during the same month during calendar year 2017). Changes the payment rate for each completed application from $240 to $200.Land Conveyance Appraisal Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Dept. of Transportation) No land conveyances are included in this bill; therefore, there are no appraisals to be filed. State Debt Impact Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Government Forecasting & Accountability) This bill would not change the amount of authorization for any type of State-issued or State-supported bond, and, therefore, would not affect the level of State indebtedness.Pension Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Government Forecasting & Accountability) This bill will not impact any public pension fund or retirement system in Illinois.

Balanced Budget Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Office of Management and Budget) The Balanced Budget Note Act does not apply to this bill as it is not a supplemental appropriation that increases or decreases appropriations. Under the Act, a balanced budget note must be prepared only for bills that change a general funds appropriation for the fiscal year in which the new bill is enacted.Correctional Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Dept of Corrections) There is no corrections population impact or fiscal impact to the Department of Corrections. Fiscal Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Dept on Aging) SB 1628 (H-AM 1) could have an estimated fiscal impact of $18.2 million dollars. Currently, Care Coordination Units (CCUs) are reimbursed on a sliding scale depending on the client's needs. The reimbursement rate for an initial assessment for services includes helping seniors complete a medical assistance application, a statutory requirement to receive Community Care Program services. CCUs may also currently bill for assisting clients who are eligible for redetermination of medical assistance benefits. The Department estimates that 60% of clients in the Community Care Program would apply or reapply for medical assistance benefits annually. This includes clients who could be spend down eligible, fully eligible, or not eligible at all. There may be other fiscal impacts resulting from this legislation, as no methodology or study has been completed. Therefore, the full impact on the Department is unknown. Finally, there would be tasks currently conducted by Department staff that would not be able to be completed due to responsibilities required within SB 1628 (H-AM 1).Home Rule Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Dept. of Commerce & Economic Opportunity) This bill does not pre-empt home rule authority.State Mandates Fiscal Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Dept. of Commerce & Economic Opportunity) This bill does not create a State mandate. 2/9/2017SenateFiled with Secretary by Sen.
