        Introduced  by M. of A. JONES -- read once and referred to the Committee
          on Health

        AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to authorizing one or
          more demonstration projects that permit a managed long-term care  plan
          to enroll persons that are permanently placed in a nursing home and to
          manage the nursing home benefit in one or more rural areas

          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:

     1    Section 1. Paragraph (b) of subdivision 7 of  section  4403-f  of  the
     2  public  health law is amended by adding a new subparagraph (v-e) to read
     3  as follows:
     4    (v-e) Notwithstanding clause thirteen  of  subparagraph  (v)  of  this
     5  paragraph,  the  department  shall  authorize  one or more demonstration
     6  projects that permit a managed long-term care  plan  to  enroll  persons
     7  that  are permanently placed in a nursing home and to manage the nursing
     8  home benefit in one or more rural areas, as  such  term  is  defined  in
     9  section  twenty-nine hundred fifty-one of this chapter.  Such plan shall
    10  be approved by the department to operate under this subparagraph in  one
    11  or more such rural areas, in order to study the effectiveness of managed
    12  care  models  in  assisting permanently-placed nursing home residents to
    13  return to community-based settings. Nothing in this  subparagraph  shall
    14  modify or alter any requirements of this section for plans authorized to
    15  enroll persons under this subparagraph.
    16    §  2.  This act shall take effect immediately; provided, however, that
    17  the amendments to paragraph (b) of subdivision 7 of  section  4403-f  of
    18  the  public  health law made by section one of this act shall not affect
    19  the expiration of such paragraph pursuant to subdivision (i) of  section
    20  111  of  part H of chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, as amended, and shall
    21  be deemed to expire therewith; provided, further, that the amendments to
    22  section 4403-f of the public health law made by section one of this  act
    23  shall  not  affect the repeal of such section pursuant to chapter 659 of
    24  the laws of 1997, as amended, and shall be deemed repealed therewith.
