AN ACT CONCERNING AN INNOVATION INCENTIVE PROGRAM FOR NONPROFIT PROVIDERS OF HUMAN SERVICES.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened:
Section 1. Section 4-216 of the general statutes is amended by adding subsection (c) as follows (Effective July 1, 2017):
(NEW) (c) The secretary may establish an incentive program for nonprofit providers of human services whose contracts with the state do not exceed one million dollars and who provide direct services to not more than one hundred fifty persons enrolled in state-funded assistance programs in specific geographical regions of the state. The incentive program may (1) allow providers who otherwise meet contractual requirements to retain a percentage of any savings realized by the providers from the contracted cost for services, (2) require that at least fifty per cent of savings retained by the providers be used to expand such services, and (3) provide that future contracted amounts from the state for the same types of services are not reduced solely to reflect savings achieved in previous contracts by such providers. For purposes of this subsection, "state-funded assistance programs" includes, but is not limited to, services provided to persons with intellectual, physical or mental disabilities or autism spectrum disorder.
