Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

§ 2. The Department shall survey each local school division to determine which school divisions bill Medicaid for reimbursable services rendered at school sites, the types of services that are billed, and the amounts for which such services are billed and shall report its findings to the Chairmen of the House Committee on Education, the Senate Committee on Education and Health, and the School Health Services Committee established pursuant to Chapter 64 (§ 30-409 et seq.) of Title 30 of the Code of Virginia no later than August 1, 2025.

§ 3. The School Health Services Committee established pursuant to Chapter 64 (§ 30-409 et seq.) of Title 30 of the Code of Virginia shall collaborate with local school divisions and such other stakeholders as it deems necessary to identify barriers to Medicaid billing for reimbursable services rendered at school sites in each local school division, with a particular focus on local school divisions in which such Medicaid billing is unutilized or underutilized. The Committee shall report its findings and recommendations to the Department and the General Assembly no later than October 1, 2025.
