Bill > HB1406

This bill modifies the existing legislation establishing the Alzheimer's State Plan Task Force by updating its membership, terms, and reporting requirements. The task force will continue to consist of 21 members, including state officials, legislators, healthcare professionals, caregivers, and representatives from various organizations related to Alzheimer's care. The key changes include removing the requirement for Senate advice and consent for gubernatorial appointments and introducing new provisions for member terms, with initial members appointed after December 31, 2025, serving staggered one- and two-year terms. The task force's core responsibilities remain the same: assessing state Alzheimer's programs, developing an integrated state plan, examining service needs, and making recommendations to address the public health challenges of Alzheimer's disease. The bill extends the task force's expiration date from 2027 to 2032 and requires a comprehensive report every five years, starting before January 1, 2028. Members will continue to serve without compensation, and the task force will maintain its focus on addressing Alzheimer's disease impact, research, services, and health disparities across Missouri.
