Bill > HB06984

This bill amends existing Connecticut law to increase the fee schedule for adult day care services by 10% effective July 1, 2025, specifically targeting increased funding for adult day care transportation. The bill modifies Section 17b-343 of the state's general statutes, which allows the Commissioner of Social Services to establish maximum allowable rates for various social services, including adult day care. By mandating this 10% increase, the bill aims to provide additional financial support to help adult day care centers cover transportation costs, which can be a significant expense for such services. This change is part of a broader context of periodic fee adjustments in the state's social services program, with previous increases having been made for services like meals on wheels and adult day care. The bill reflects an effort to help adult day care centers maintain and potentially improve their transportation services for elderly and other participants who rely on these critical support services.
