Bill Analysis
SB 2117 would authorize the board of the City of Amarillo Hospital District to facilitate a health care provider participation program.
Vote Recommendation Notes
The health care provider participation program would collect mandatory payments from hospitals based on net patient revenue to provide the nonfederal share of a Medicaid supplemental payment program. This would provide a mechanism for intergovernmental transfer of funds so that the city can draw down federal federal funds. Since this is largely a local issue that does not increase the cost of government or public debt, we are neutral on this legislation.
