AN ACT
To amend chapter 103, RSMo, by adding thereto one new section relating to medical benefits for temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) under the Missouri consolidated health care plan.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Chapter 103, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 103.180, to read as follows:
103.180. 1. Beginning on a date specified by the board but not later than January 1, 2013, the board shall develop a cost-neutral or cost-positive plan for providing temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) coverage for persons insured under the Missouri consolidated health care plan.
2. The board may adopt rules necessary to implement the provisions of this subsection. Any rule or portion of a rule, as that term is defined in section 536.010, that is created under the authority delegated in this section shall become effective only if it complies with and is subject to all of the provisions of chapter 536 and, if applicable, section 536.028. This section and chapter 536 are nonseverable and if any of the powers vested with the general assembly pursuant to chapter 536 to review, to delay the effective date, or to disapprove and annul a rule are subsequently held unconstitutional, then the grant of rulemaking authority and any rule proposed or adopted after August 28, 2011, shall be invalid and void.
