8 Granite Advantage Health Care Program; Funding. Amend RSA 126-AA:3, VI to read as follows:
VI. The commissioner, in accordance with the most current available information, shall be responsible for determining, quarterly commencing no later than December 31, 2018, whether there is sufficient funding in the fund to cover projected program costs for the nonfederal share for the next 6-month period. If at any time the commissioner determines that a projected shortfall exists, [then the sum necessary to cover such shortfall shall be transferred to the fund from the liquor commission fund established in RSA 176:16. In the event the commissioner determines that there are not sufficient funds in the liquor commission fund to cover the shortfall, then] he or she shall terminate the program in accordance with the federally approved terms and conditions issued by CMS. Upon making a determination that a projected shortfall exists [and that there are insufficient funds in the liquor commission fund to cover the shortfall], the commissioner shall:
(a) Within 48 hours of making the determination, notify the governor, the speaker of the house of representatives, the president of the senate, and the chairperson of the fiscal committee of the general court of the program's pending termination; and
(b) Within 10 business days of making the determination, notify program participants of the program's pending termination.
