What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Michelle Alyssa Go Act," seeks to amend the Social Security Act regarding Medicaid. It specifically targets the definition of an "institution for mental diseases." The goal is to exclude certain smaller facilities from this definition. Specifically, institutions with 36 beds or less can be excluded if they meet specific standards. These standards must be approved by the Secretary and include evidence-based practices. The changes would take effect 180 days after the bill is enacted.
