It is the intent of the General Assembly to eliminate the waiting lists for
services pursuant to the Intellectual Disability Medicaid Waiver and the
Individual and Family Developmental Disabilities and Support Medicaid Waiver.
		In furtherance of this intent, beginning with the fiscal year starting July 1,

Services shall add (i) at least 400 additional funded slots per fiscal year for
the Intellectual Disability Medicaid Waiver, and (ii) at least 67 additional
funded slots per fiscal year for the Individual and Family Developmental
Disabilities and Support Medicaid Waiver, until the waiting lists for the
Intellectual Disability Medicaid Waiver and the Individual and Family
Developmental Disabilities and Support Medicaid Waiver have been eliminated.
		In addition, the Governor shall develop a plan to eliminate the waiting lists
for services provided to individuals on the Intellectual Disability Medicaid
Waiver and the Individual and Family Developmental Disabilities and Support
Medicaid Waiver by the 2018-2020 biennium. The plan shall include provisions to
reduce the total number of individuals on the waiting list for the Intellectual
Disability Medicaid Waiver by 10 percent in the 2008-2010 biennium. The Governor
shall submit the plan to the chairman of the Joint Commission on Health Care,
and the Chairmen of the House Committee on Appropriations and the Senate
Committee on Finance and Appropriations by October 1, 2009.
		The Department of Medical Assistance Services shall work with the Department
of Planning and Budget to incorporate additional costs pursuant to this section
in the estimate of Medicaid expenditures required pursuant to § 32.1-323.1.
