 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Amends the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 to require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to promulgate final regulations revising case management and targeted case management under title XIX (Medicaid) of the Social Security Act. (Currently, such regulations may be effective and final immediately on an interim basis as of their publication date.)

Requires such regulations to be consistent with: (1) federal rule making notice and comment requirements, except that the period of public comment on them shall be at least 80 days; and (2) congressional review requirements.

Makes the regulations effective at least 90 days after publication in the Federal Register or presentation to each chamber or the Comptroller General, whichever occurs later.

Repeals the Secretary's authority to change or revise such regulations after completion of the comment period.
