Reinserts provisions similar to those of the bill with respect to medical assistance for children with disabilities, but with changes that include the following: (1) provides that home-based and community-based services may be offered by the Department of Healthcare and Family Services in conjunction with the Department of Human Services (instead of by DHFS alone); (2) requires a bi-annual (instead of annual) report beginning in 2008, and makes changes in connection with the required contents of the report; and (3) provides that the report may be submitted as part of the report made in connection with a pilot program for persons who are medically fragile and technology-dependent. Further amends the Illinois Public Aid Code to provide that the Department of Human Services may administer the pilot program for persons who are medically fragile and technology-dependent until June 30, 2010 (instead of 2009), and adds information that must be included in the annual report concerning the pilot program. Effective immediately.Fiscal Note, House Amendment No. 1 (Dept. of Healthcare & Family Services) This amendment will require additional administrative costs for adapting and conducting the present Federally approved Participant Experience Survey (PES) for the indicated population. HFS may choose to have the present PES vendor perform these additional surveys at an estimated, or may opt to perform the surveys in-house. This amendment has the potential to add $10,000-$17,000 to the original estimate of the bill. Annual administrative impact is estimated at $110,000 to $117,000 annually.
