§1250.2. Legislative findings; declaration
A. The legislature hereby finds all of the following:
(1) Access to quality services for persons with developmental, intellectual, adult-onset, or physical disabilities furnished by private providers is essential for the health, safety,
and well being of those persons.
(2) Reliable and sufficient Medicaid reimbursement rates for private providers are
necessary to create and maintain a sustainable statewide system of services for eligible
individuals with disabilities.
(3) A statewide system of services is sustainable only if reimbursement rates are
sufficient to enlist providers in numbers great enough to allow eligible individuals a choice
among different providers who are capable of delivering quality services that will meet the
assessed needs of those individuals in a timely manner.
B. The legislature hereby declares that this state must take steps to foster and
maintain a robust network that attracts and retains quality providers which are capable of
maintaining a stable workforce and are sufficient in number to allow for meaningful choices
among providers by individuals eligible to receive disability services.
