 AN ACT to amend the public health law, the social services law, the
 elder law and the mental hygiene law, in relation to long term care
 options; and to repeal certain provisions of the public health law
 relating to managed long term care

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Legislative intent. The state, as part of an ambitious
 2 effort to move all Medicaid recipients to some form of managed care,
 3 moved those in need of home and community-based long term care services
 4 for over a one hundred twenty day period into managed long term care
 5 plans on a mandatory basis over ten years ago. The original intent of
 6 the MLTC program was that the managed long term care plans would develop
 7 into fully capitated plans over time. This has not happened.
 8 Therefore, it is the intent of the legislature to repeal the partially
 9 capitated managed long term care program and instead, provide appropri-
 10 ate home and community-based long term care benefits under a fee-for-
 11 service arrangement. Fully capitated programs such as the PACE program
 12 shall continue to be an option. This transition shall not be implemented
 13 until the commissioner of health is satisfied that all necessary and

 4 section 4403-f is added to read as follows:
 5 § 4403-f. Long term care options. 1. The following words or phrases,
 6 as used in this section, shall have the following meanings:
 7 (a) "Program of all-inclusive care of the elderly" or "PACE" means a
 8 fully capitated federally recognized model of comprehensive care for
 9 persons fifty-five years of age or older that are eligible for medicaid
