Amends the Disabled Persons Rehabilitation Act by providing that personal care attendants shall receive a percentage increase in wages equal to the percent increase in the federal or State minimum wage each time the federal or State minimum wage is increased. Effective July 1, 2003.Fiscal Note (Department on Aging) Providing a cost estimate of this provision is difficult because the effective date of a federal or state minimum wage increase, and, the percentage increase of any future increase, are currently unknown. However, at this juncture, each 1% increase would result in an eleven-cent increase to the current CCP homemaker rate of $11.06 per hour. Each eleven-cent increment would generate an estimated twelve month gross cost for state fiscal year 2004 of $1.87 million. Based on recent Medicaid claiming data, the net cost is estimated at $1.48 million. Net cost refers to the gross state general revenue fund expenditure less Medicaid federal financial participation revenues. 2/6/2003HouseFiled with the Clerk by Rep.
