Explanation:
(This language amendment modifies a proposal included in the Governor's budget which would have increased Medicaid payments for consumer-directed personal care services by 3 percent. Funding is retained, but directed to provide an increase for all providers of personal care services. Because more providers would be eligible for the increase, language specifying percentage increase is eliminated.)
