            (1) by striking ``The State'' and inserting:
                    ``(A) In general.--The State''; and
            (2) by adding at the end the following new subparagraph:
                    ``(B) Additional provider screening.--Beginning 
                January 1, 2027, as part of the enrollment (or 
                reenrollment or revalidation of enrollment) of a 
                provider or supplier under this title, and not less 
                frequently than monthly during the period that such 
                provider or supplier is so enrolled, the State conducts 
                a check of any database or similar system developed 
                pursuant to section 6401(b)(2) of the Patient 
                Protection and Affordable Care Act to determine whether 
                the Secretary has terminated the participation of such 
                provider or supplier under title XVIII, or whether any 
                other State has terminated the participation of such 
                provider or supplier under such other State's State 
                plan under this title (or waiver of the plan), or such 
                other State's State child health plan under title XXI 
                (or waiver of the plan).''.

            Passed the House of Representatives September 17, 2024.
