2015-S2956 - Sponsor Memo

                                BILL NUMBER:S2956

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend chapter 58 of the laws of 2005,
relating to authorizing reimbursements for expenditures made by or on
behalf of social services districts for medical assistance for needy
persons and the administration thereof, in relation to a five year
elimination of the local share for medicaid

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

This bill would amend chapter 59 of the laws of 2005, relating to
authorizing reimbursements for expenditures made by or on behalf of
social services districts for medical assistance for needy persons and
the administration thereof in relation to a five year elimination of
the local share for Medicaid.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section 1 amends the laws of 2005, relating to authorizing
reimbursements for expenditures made by or on behalf of social
services districts for medical assistance for needy persons, and seven
new subdivisions (cl) thru (c8) are added. The subsections reduce the
medical assistance expenditure amounts for each social services
district and implement an incremental five year plan in which the
medical expenditure reduction amounts for each social services
district is increased 20% per year, from 20% in 2018 to 100% in 2024.

This section also provides that the savings from this reduction shall
be used for property tax levy reductions or property tax rebates and
the minimum amount of annual property tax levy reductions resulting
from the savings shall be determined by the state comptroller and
transmitted to each local government. Section 2 provides the effective
date.

JUSTIFICATION:

In 2011 a series of resolutions and statements from a cross section of
municipal governments in New York State, along with the New York State
Association of Counties, brought forward the issue of New York's
Medicaid spending. They found that New York's Medicaid program spends
in excess of $52 billion dollars a year, almost 20% of state spending,
and the local share of about $7.3 billion would grow by 37% over the
next five years. This figure is unsustainable to local governments and
they are desperate in need of relief. Increased costs have
precipitated a situation in New York where our population of 19.4
million exceeds the combined Medicaid expenditures of California with
a population of 37.1 million and Texas with a population of 25
million. Increased costs illustrate the need for the state to have a
greater role in managing Medicaid and reducing this mandates burden on
localities thus it is essential that this bill pass.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

2013-2014: S.1588A

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None.


EFFECTIVE DATE:

This act shall take effect immediately.
