(1) On or before January 1, 2012, the department shall submit an application to the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services of the United States Department of Health and Human Services to amend the medicaid state plan or seek a waiver to provide for utilization of the unused administrative cap to allow for payments to the Nebraska Regional Poison Center funded through the University of Nebraska Medical Center Cash Fund to help offset the cost for treatment of children who are eligible for assistance under the medical assistance program and the Children's Health Insurance Program established pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 1397aa et seq., pursuant to the federal Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009, Public Law 111-3, as such act existed on January 1, 2010.
(2) Upon approval of the amendment to the medicaid state plan or the granting of the waiver, the University of Nebraska Medical Center shall transfer an amount, not to exceed two hundred fifty thousand dollars, to the Health and Human Services Cash Fund for the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services to meet the state match to maximize the use of the unused administrative cap money.
