HB05560

Connecticut HB05560 mandates evaluation and parity in payment rates for services by the Departments of Developmental and Social Services.

Connecticut HB05560 requires the Commissioners of Developmental Services and Social Services to evaluate and share payment rates for services provided by nonprofit organizations. If rates for the same services are lower at the Department of Developmental Services, the commissioner paying the lower rates must increase them to achieve parity. By October 1, 2026, the commissioners must file a joint report detailing the rates, costs to increase them, and costs if the departments provided the services directly.
