HB 204 -- Missouri Senior Rx Program

Sponsor:  Salva

This bill changes the laws regarding the Missouri Senior Rx
Program.  The bill:

(1)  Transfers the program to the Division of Senior Services
from the Division of Aging within the Department of Health and
Senior Services;

(2)  Requires applicants currently not participating in the
program to submit an initial enrollment application to the
division.  The division must accept the initial applications
during an open enrollment period from January 1 through February
28 of each year;

(3)  Eliminates the requirement that participating enrollees
reapply to the program each year.  Current enrollees will
automatically remain in the program unless they specifically
decline to renew their participation during an open enrollment
period; and

(4)  Allows the division to establish procedures to verify a
current enrollee's continued eligibility for the program.
