Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Nurse home visits for Medicaid parents

The law adds in‑home nurse visits as a Medicaid service for postpartum mothers and babies up to six months old. By October 1, 2025, the Department must seek federal approval so Medicaid can cover and match this service. Visits happen in the home and are provided by a nurse. The Medicaid Managed Care Excess Profit Fund is used to pay for this service instead of the General Fund.

Stronger standards for family home visits

The law funds only evidence‑based home visiting programs with a clear model, a manual, trained and culturally competent staff, and ongoing quality checks. State‑funded visits must be regular and done by nurses, social workers, early childhood or health professionals, or trained, supervised lay workers. Families can decline services at any time. State money can pay for staff training and certification to build the workforce. Programs that offer only one or rare visits are not covered by this Act. The Department can set rules to run the program.
