Rhode Island General Laws Title 42. State Affairs and Government § 42-12.4-3. Legislative enactments

Until statutory changes are enacted through the legislative process, all applicable laws remain in effect. It may be necessary to propose legislative changes in order to comply with the federal waiver(s). In order to effectuate additional programmatic changes to the Medicaid program beyond those authorized in the 2008 legislative session, and as authorized by the federal waiver, the executive office of health and human services and the department of human services shall propose the additional appropriate legislative amendments. Such additional legislative changes cannot be effectuated until the necessary statutory enactments have been passed.
