This amendment removes requirements for hospital admission forms to collect citizenship information, eliminates submission of annual reports to the governor, and provides a 12-month implementation period for hospitals to comply with remaining citizenship data collection requirements.
- Deletes the requirement that hospitals include a provision on admission or registration forms asking whether the patient is a citizen or lawfully present in the United States. (Page 16, lines 1-6)
- Renumbers subsection (ii) to (i) to account for the deletion of the prior subsection. (Page 16, line 8)
- Removes the requirement that hospitals inform patients that submission of citizenship information will not affect patient care. (Page 16, line 10)
- Changes the requirement from collecting information on hospital 'admission or registration forms' to collecting information on 'presumptive eligibility applications'. (Page 16, lines 11-12)
- Removes the requirement to submit quarterly reports to the governor and legislative leaders on hospital admissions by patients' citizenship status. (Page 17, lines 1-20)
- Changes the department responsible for receiving annual citizenship and uncompensated care reports from the governor to the department of health. (Page 17, line 2)
- Removes a reference to a house committee amendment and deletes language requiring reports to 'the president of the senate and the speaker of the house of representatives'. (Page 17, lines 3-20)
- Adds the word 'not' so that the annual report describes hospital admissions where the patient 'was not' a citizen of the United States, rather than was a citizen. (Page 17, line 6)
- Clarifies that the annual report pertains to aliens 'who indicated that they' were not lawfully present in the United States. (Page 17, lines 9-10)
- Specifies that citizenship status information must be reported on the presumptive eligibility application rather than on hospital admission forms. (Page 17, lines 10-11)
- Deletes the requirement for quarterly reports and substitutes language referring to presumptive eligibility applications. (Page 17, line 19)
- Adds a new requirement providing hospitals with a minimum 12-month implementation period after final rule promulgation before they must comply with citizenship data collection requirements. (Page 17, after line 19)
