This bill cancels two state administrative regulations related to Medicaid services that the legislature found to be deficient during a review period in 2024. By nullifying these regulations, the bill removes rules that had been determined not to meet legal or procedural standards. The emergency designation means it would take effect immediately upon becoming law. Who it may affect: Kentuckians enrolled in Medicaid and state agencies that oversee Medicaid services.
