Bill 118 SJRes 91 is a joint resolution that aims to disapprove of a rule submitted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services regarding minimum staffing standards for long-term care facilities and Medicaid institutional payment transparency reporting. The rule in question pertains to the Medicare and Medicaid Programs and seeks to establish guidelines for staffing levels in long-term care facilities, as well as requirements for reporting Medicaid payments to these facilities.
