Bill > S0637

This bill amends South Carolina's existing law regarding the state's approach to addressing Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. Specifically, it requires the state's advisory council to maintain and update a statewide plan every five years, with a key change being that the plan must now utilize data from the Alzheimer's Disease Registry. The bill also mandates that this registry be funded through the annual general appropriations act, which means the funding will be determined each year as part of the state's budget process. By explicitly requiring the use of registry data in developing the statewide plan, the bill aims to ensure that the state's strategy for addressing Alzheimer's disease is based on comprehensive, up-to-date information. The bill will take effect immediately upon receiving the Governor's approval.
