S508 - 2023 Budget Technical/Other Corrections. (SL 2024-1)

Overview: Section 3.2A of S.L. 2024-1 amends Section 9E.6 of S.L. 2021-180, as amended by Section 3.1 of S.L. 2021-189, to extend the adult care home accreditation pilot program from two years to three years. The changes include increasing the ability of the Adult Care Home Accreditation Grant Program to allow the cost of providing outcome data for up to 150 pilot adult care homes, previously it was 75. The final report deadline was extended from July 31, 2024, to July 31, 2025, and the termination date was extended from August 1, 2024, to August 1, 2025. The goal of the pilot program is to evaluate the effectiveness of an accreditation process for adult care homes that would deem adult care homes eligible for ongoing licensure and exempt accredited adult care homes from routine inspections if they meet required standards and requirements.
