The Legislature finds that sufficient planning and meaningful input from stakeholders, including, but not limited to, service providers and consumers, is critical for establishing an effective managed care system for medicaid recipients. To ensure the safety and well-being of the state's most vulnerable population, the Department of Health and Human Services shall not release a request for proposals relating to procurement of managed care for long-term care services and support prior to September 1, 2015.
