Eliminates language concerning CTA transportation to Medicaid enrollees. Provides that the Department of Healthcare and Family Services shall, by the 10th day of the month in which enhanced FMAP originally set forth in the ARRA expires, (rather than December 20, 2010) create vouchers for all State fiscal year 2011 hospital payments exempt from the prompt payment requirements of the ARRA; and the Department shall submit these vouchers to the Comptroller for payment (rather than shall, no later than December 15, 2010, submit these vouchers to the Comptroller for payment).
