• Introduced by Rep. Richard Carlson (R) on January 14, 2009, in his role as committee chair, to allow Medicaid patients to make a "collateral assignment" of the proceeds from their life insurance policies to the state's Medicaid program. The assignment could be used by people trying to meet income criteria for Medicaid eligibility rather than forcing them to sell their insurance policy in order to become eligible for Medicaid coverage.
  • Referred to the House Aging and Long Term Care Committee on January 23, 2009.
