The emergency rules implement the mandate of the Florida Legislature in the budget proviso requirements of the 2008 General Appropriations Act. They supersede any prior inconsistent rules. Funds in Specific Appropriations 263 and 266 reflect a reduction of $19,394,742 from the General Revenue Fund and $24,149,807 from the Operations and Maintenance Trust Fund as a result of reducing provider rates, effective July 1, 2008. Personal Care Assistance is specifically excluded from this reduction target. The agency shall amend provider contracts, cost plans and rules as necessary to achieve this recurring reduction. The Emergency Rules establish the rates paid to providers for services provided to developmentally disabled individuals enrolled in Medicaid waiver programs. The purpose of Rules 59GER08-2 and 59GER08-3 is to achieve the legislatively mandated reduction in rates to achieve the required total savings of $43,544,549.00.
