Bill proposed yearly parent consent rules for school Medicaid billing

The proposed law would direct state agencies to adopt rules about yearly parent consent for school billing. The rules would cover school districts and billing for eligible services connected to a child's IEP or Section 504 plan. The proposed rules would make one yearly signature sufficient for allowable Medicaid or expanded Medicaid billing tied to a child's IEP or Section 504 plan. Before first accessing a child's or parent's public benefits or insurance, a school district would have to give notice and get written parental consent. A new district would seek a new signature when a child moves there. The bill assigns related rulemaking to different pairs of agencies in separate sections. The bill said it would take effect 60 days after passage. It died when the 2026 session ended, so it did not take effect.
