AI Summary

This bill allows pediatric long-term care facilities, which are licensed by the Department of Health (the state agency overseeing health and healthcare facilities), to provide care to residents up to the age of 26, an increase from the current maximum age of 19. The "Administrative Procedure Act" is a law that governs how state agencies create and implement regulations, and the Commissioner of Health will be responsible for adopting any necessary rules to put this change into effect, with the act becoming effective immediately upon passage.
