AI Summary
This bill modifies Section 12 of Chapter 118E of the Massachusetts General Laws to expand eligibility for the Personal Care Attendant (PCA) program. Specifically, the bill requires the state division administering the program to develop or update its standards and regulations to include individuals who are already eligible for the PCA program but need supervision and "cueing" to perform two or more activities of daily living. "Cueing" in this context refers to prompts or guidance that help individuals complete daily tasks, such as reminders or step-by-step instructions. The bill aims to broaden access to personal care services for people with disabilities or medical conditions who require additional support to independently perform essential daily activities, ensuring that those who need supervisory assistance are not excluded from receiving PCA services.
