Bill summary

House committee substitute to the 1st edition makes the following changes.

In the new GS 143-300.1B, defines health, human, and welfare services in subdivision (a)(1) as any services provided by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and its various divisions, in conjunction with or through nongovernmental organizations. This definition was previously health care services, and referenced the definition in GS 90-21.50 regarding DHHS services. Makes conforming changes throughout the section to use “health, human, and welfare services” in place of “health care services.”

In the new GS 143-300.1C, makes an identical change to the definition of health, human, and welfare services in subdivision (a)(1) and removes health care services. Makes conforming changes throughout the section in the same manner. Amends subsections (e) and (g) of the section to correct a reference to the monetary limits as applied in “subsection (d).” Previously the subsections referenced “subsection (c),” which was erroneous.
