AI Summary

This bill aims to increase the personal care allowance for long-term care residents in Massachusetts. The bill amends several sections of the state's General Laws to raise the monthly personal care allowance from $60 to $100 for individuals who are living in licensed nursing facilities, chronic hospitals, rest homes, or other approved public medical institutions and are receiving government assistance. The increased allowance will be adjusted annually at the same rate as other state supplementary payments.
