AI Summary
This bill aims to enhance the pediatric palliative care program in Massachusetts. It removes the "subject to appropriation" language from the existing law, increases the membership of the advisory committee from 19 to 22 members, and replaces the language that the program "shall not give rise to enforceable legal rights" with a provision that all eligible children shall have access to these services, and requires the Department of Public Health to report caseload information and spending projections to the state legislature on a quarterly basis.
