AI Summary

This bill aims to provide services for medically ill and mentally ill persons. It amends Chapter 19 of the Massachusetts General Laws by requiring that at least 12.5% of new placements in Department of Mental Health adult community residential programs with operating funds be in programs with medical/nursing care components for persons requiring both long-term mental health services and at least intermediate nursing care services.
