State Sen. Justin Brown: Negotiations in the Senate
State Sen. Justin Brown
District 16
From where I stand, the Missouri Senate should not have needed to be in session last week, but we did, so we were.
To be perfectly honest, we did not pass legislation to renew a little-known, but absolutely vital program called the Federal Reimbursement Allowance, or FRA. Under the FRA, Medicaid service providers pay a tax, and that money entitles the State of Missouri to draw down additional money from the federal government. Last year, the FRA program accounted for more than $4 billion in revenue, which paid for about 40% of Missouri’s Medicaid program.

The Federal Reimbursement Allowance Tax on health care providers will continue funding the state’s portion of Medicaid. The House also passed a bill Wednesday defunding Planned Parenthood, but its future is unclear.
JEFFERSON CITY A bill to renew a tax that funds Missouri’s portion of Medicaid made its way to Gov. Mike Parson to sign into law, just hours before the state’s new fiscal year was to begin.
The House on Wednesday approved the renewal of the Federal Reimbursement Allowance tax during the special session Parson called to address the issue. Not renewing it would have cost the state billions in revenue and federal dollars.

House Budget Chairman Cody Smith, R-Carthage, said passing the tax was critical to the state’s finances.
“If we do not renew the FRA, then our budget will be out of balance, and it would be catastrophic,” Smith said, asking for his colleagues to approve the measure.
