Add to Article II, Special Provisions, the following rider:

Sec. ____.  Calculation of Reimbursement Rates for Services Provided in the Home and Community-Based Services Waiver. It is the intent of the legislature that for the purposes of calculations incorporated in the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) Consolidated Budget for Fiscal Years 2018-19 utilize an incentive factor for Supervised Living/Residential Support Services (SL/RSS) and Day Habilitation (DH) services provided in Strategy A.3.2, Home and Community-Based Services similar to other Department of Aging and Disability Services programs that incur capital expenses such as Strategies A.6.1, Nursing Facility Payments and A.7.1, Intermediate Care Facilities-IID. This would result in the use of a seven percent incentive factor for SL/RSS and DH.
