SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Community Integration Act of 2014''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The Supreme Court's 1999 decision in Olmstead v. L.C., 
        527 U.S. 581 (1999), held that the unnecessary segregation of 
        individuals with disabilities is a violation of the Americans 
        with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.).
            (2) Under Olmstead, individuals generally have the right to 
        receive their supports and services in home and community-based 
        settings, rather than in institutional settings, if they so 
        choose.
            (3) Olmstead envisioned that States would provide 
        appropriate long-term services and supports to individuals with 
        disabilities through home and community-based services and end 
        forced segregation in nursing homes and other institutions.
            (4) While there has been progress in rebalancing State 
        spending on individuals with disabilities in institutions as 
        compared to home and community-based settings, more than 75 
        percent of States continue to spend the majority of their long-
        term care dollars on nursing homes and other institutional 
        settings, and the number of individuals with disabilities under 
        age 65 in nursing homes increased between 2008 and 2012.
            (5) As of June 2013, there were more than 200,000 
        individuals younger than age 65 in nursing homes--almost 16 
        percent of the total nursing home population.
            (6) Thirty-eight studies published from 2005 to 2012 
        concluded that providing services in home and community-based 
        settings is less costly than providing care in a nursing home 
        or other institutional setting.
            (7) No clear or centralized reporting system exists to 
        compare how effectively States are meeting the Olmstead 
        mandate.

SEC. 3. ENSURING MEDICAID BENEFICIARIES MAY ELECT TO RECEIVE CARE IN A 
              HOME AND COMMUNITY-BASED SETTING.

    (a) In General.--Section 1902(a) of the Social Security Act (42 
U.S.C. 1396a(a)) is amended--

            (2) in paragraph (81), by striking the period and inserting 
        ``; and''; and
            (3) by inserting after paragraph (81) the following new 
        paragraph:
            ``(82) in the case of any individual with respect to whom 
        there has been a determination that the individual requires the 
        level of care provided in a nursing facility, intermediate care 
        facility for the mentally retarded, institution for mental 
        disease, or other similarly restrictive or institutional 
        setting--
                    ``(A) provide the individual with the choice and 
                opportunity to receive such care in a home and

                activities of daily living, instrumental activities of 
                daily living, and health-related tasks, and assistance 
                in acquiring, maintaining, or enhancing skills 
                necessary to accomplish such activities, tasks, or 
                services;
                    ``(B) ensure that each such individual has an equal 
                opportunity (when compared to the receipt and 
                availability of nursing facility services) to receive 
                care in a home and community-based setting, if the 
                individual so chooses, by ensuring that the provision 
                of such care in a home and community-based setting is 
                widely available on a statewide basis for all such 
                individuals within the State; and
                    ``(C) meet the requirements of section 1904A 
                (relating to the provision of care in a home and 
                community-based setting).''.
    (b) Requirements for Community Care Options.--Title XIX of the 
Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396 et seq.) is amended by inserting

1904A(a)(3)), but not including''.
    (d) Application to Waivers.--Notwithstanding section 1904A of the

        case of a State plan under section 1902 of the Social Security 
        Act (42 U.S.C. 1396a) which the Secretary of Health and Human 
        Services determines requires State legislation (other than 
        legislation appropriating funds) in order for the plan to meet 
        the additional requirements imposed by the amendments made by 
        this section, the State plan shall not be regarded as failing 
        to comply with the requirements of such section 1902 solely on 
        the basis of the failure of the plan to meet such additional 
        requirements before the 1st day of the 1st calendar quarter 
        beginning after the close of the 1st regular session of the 
        State legislature that begins after the date of enactment of 
        this Act. For purposes of the previous sentence, in the case of 
        a State that has a 2-year legislative session, each year of 
        such session shall be deemed to be a separate regular session 
        of the State legislature.
Community Integration Act of 2014 - Amends title XIX (Medicaid) of the Social Security Act to require state Medicaid plans to give an individual with disabilities needing the level of care provided in an institutional setting the choice and opportunity to receive such care in a home and community-based setting, including rehabilitative services, assistance and support in accomplishing activities of daily living, instrumental activities of daily living, and health-related tasks, and assistance in acquiring, maintaining, or enhancing skills necessary to accomplish such activities, tasks, or services. Prescribes requirements for providing in home and community-based settings those services such an individual would otherwise receive in an institutional setting, such as a nursing facility, intermediate care facility for the mentally retarded, institution for mental disease, or other similarly restrictive or institutional setting.
