SB 18-093

Senate Bill 18-093 is a Colorado law that removes outdated provisions related to a specific Medicaid waiver program for people living with AIDS. This bill was necessary because the participants in this program have been moved to another, more comprehensive home- and community-based services waiver program, and federal approval for the original AIDS-specific waiver has ended. The bill also updates other parts of Colorado’s medical assistance laws by removing references to this no longer active waiver. Since it has been signed into law, these outdated provisions are now officially removed from state statutes.

Official Summary

Statutory Revision Committee. The bill repeals the inactive home- and community-based services waiver under the Colorado medical assistance program for persons with health complexes related to acquired immune deficiency syndrome (persons living with AIDS waiver). Due to the consolidation of home- and community-based services waivers under the Colorado medical assistance program, persons participating in the persons living with AIDS waiver were transferred to the home- and community-based services waiver for the elderly, blind, and disabled, and federal authorization for the persons living with AIDS waiver has been withdrawn. The bill makes conforming amendments to remove references to the obsolete home- and community-based services waiver program. (Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.) , Read More
