Explanation

(This amendment restores $1.4 million the first year and $2.6 million the second year to fully fund an error in the Official Medicaid Forecast that removed funding for new graduate medical residency slots funded through Medicaid. Included in this funding is $100,000 from the general fund and $100,000 from nongeneral funds for the Graduate Medical Education residency program each year of the biennium, to provide funding for 27 slots, rather than 25, for the residents who started in July 2021. These funds were included in the budget passed in March, but subsequently unallotted in April due to the COVID-19 pandemic and eliminated in the introduced budget for the Special Session.)
