AI Summary
This bill removes certain restrictions on eligibility for personal and home care services under Medicaid. Specifically, it amends the Social Services Law to eliminate the requirement that individuals seeking these services must need assistance with at least two activities of daily living, or at least supervision with more than one activity of daily living if they have a dementia or Alzheimer's diagnosis. The bill also repeals a provision that previously limited access to personal care services. These changes aim to expand access to personal and home care services for Medicaid recipients.
