ss. 409.961 through 409.985, F.S., no language may be introduced to 
limit the ability of Medicaid managed care plans to provide incontinence 
medical supplies during the term of the contracts for these services 
including any extensions.  The agency shall seek any federal Medicaid 
waiver necessary to implement this provision.
