provider by five and one-half percent (5.5%), regardless of whether

such Medicaid receipts are based on days or hours of service, the

cost of services rendered, or some other basis. The Home-Based

Support Quality Assurance Assessment shall not be increased unless

specifically authorized by the Legislature.
