Department of Community Health
The bill would appropriate increased Federal Medicaid match rate funding under provisions of ARRA. This increased Federal Medicaid match rate funding provides for $848.7 million of GF/GP appropriation reductions in mental health, children's special health, and the Medicaid
program. These GF/GP appropriation reductions are offset dollar for dollar with the enhanced Federal Medicaid match rate funding. The bill also includes a Federal funding increase to support targeted case management services provided by local offices on aging.
Department of Human Services
The bill would appropriate increased Federal foster care and adoption subsidy funding under provisions of ARRA. This increased Federal funding provides for $15.0 million of GF/GP appropriation reductions in these programs. These GF/GP appropriation reductions are offset dollar for dollar with the higher Federal funding. The bill also includes Federal ARRA funding for increased spending authorization for child care and development block grants to restore a provider rate reduction included in Executive Order 2009-22 and to fund quality improvement initiatives. Additional ARRA funds for Americorps programs, local field office overtime costs, and food assistance information technology projects are included as well.
Department of Natural Resources
The bill would appropriate increased Federal ARRA funding to protect and restore natural resources ecology functions and forest productivity. The funding would be used to address invasive plant species that are threatening State and private land across the State.
