Medicaid reform bill passes Idaho Senate, heads to governor's desk
BOISE — The Idaho Senate at around 6 p.m. Tuesday suspended its own rules to be able to more quickly take up a major Medicaid reform bill. The bill passed on party lines after nearly 30 minutes of debate.
House Bill 345, which makes several changes including shifting administration of Idaho's entire Medicaid program to a third-party organization and implementing work requirements for some participants, had been first introduced on Feb. 28 and swiftly made its way through both chambers. It will now go to Gov. Brad Little's desk for consideration.
