Repeals Section 10.24 of SL 2010-13, which limited to two the number of Local Management entities (LMEs) that the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) was to select to implement the capitated 1915(b)(c) Medicaid waiver as a demonstration program during the 2010-11 fiscal year.
Directs DHHS to implement additional capitated 1915(b)(c) Medicaid waivers during the 2011-12 fiscal year via a request for application process for LME applicants who demonstrate readiness.
