Amend the joint resolution, as and if amended, SECTION 1, by amending subsection (B) to read:
/ (B) To the extent that Proviso 89.87 of Part IB, Act 291 of 2010 prohibits the Department of Health and Human Services from reducing provider rates from their current levels and expresses that this proviso is not intended to restrict the annual updating of cost base rates and those rates which are indexed to methodologies described in the Medicaid State Plan, this portion of the proviso is suspended. The remaining portion of Proviso 89.87 remains in effect and continues to have the force of law. The suspension of that portion of Proviso 89.87 of Part IB, Act 291 of 2010 that is suspended pursuant to the provisions of this subsection does not apply to provider rates of rural hospitals. For purposes of this subsection, "rural hospitals" means rural health centers, or RHC's, as defined by federal law which is any nonurbanized area. /
