AI Summary
This bill makes several changes to committees and councils within the Department of Health and Human Services, primarily focusing on aging and dementia-related issues. It eliminates an advisory committee of the Nebraska Children's Commission that focused on alternative responses to child abuse or neglect reports. The bill also renames and modifies the Alzheimer's Disease and Other Dementia Advisory Council, expanding its scope to include general aging issues and renaming it the "Aging, Alzheimer's, and Dementia Advisory Council." This includes changes to its membership, redefining its purpose to encompass broader aging concerns, and establishing a dedicated fund for its operations. Additionally, the bill renames the State Advisory Committee on Mental Health Services to include substance use services, and it eliminates the Division of Medicaid and Long-Term Care Advisory Committee on Aging, transferring its functions to the newly expanded council. The bill also harmonizes various provisions and repeals outdated sections of Nebraska law related to these committees and councils.
