The majority amendment extends the SB 409 partnership for another 4 years while implementing the arrangement made when we passed the nursing home bed assessment last year in HB 663. The committee considered and rejected a one-year extension. The majority of the Committee strongly feels it is unfair for one entity at the budget table to have an advantage that creates an uneven playing field as part of the big picture of all state funding programs and needs. Tying the state's hands to only a one year extension of the state/county partnership would create that unlevel playing field, giving counties a preferential, not equal, place at the budget table. Additionally, SB 376: 1) allows non-profit hospitals the option to participate in a cost-saving state government multi-purchase pool: 2) gives Androscoggin Hospital flexibility in their hospital license to capture over $2 million in additional federal revenue: 3) makes federally mandated changes to the method that the state uses for the hospital tax from gross to net patient revenue which will reduce state revenues by $44 million per year in FY 06 and beyond: and 4) makes changes to the nursing home bed assessment to meet requirements for federal approval.."}, {"side": "Minority", "author": "Rep.
