A bill amending the work requirements for participants in Arkansas’ ARHOME Medicaid expansion program passed the Senate Insurance and Commerce Committee Thursday (April 3).
Senate Bill 527 by Sen. Missy Irvin, R-Mountain View, changes the Arkansas Health and Opportunity for Me (ARHOME) program created in 2011.
It passed on a voice vote with no audible dissenters. No one spoke for or against it.
Senate Bill 527 modifies existing state law, which already allows the governor to request a work requirement waiver as a condition for recipients continuing to receive coverage under ARHOME.
