Bill > HB1804

This bill establishes a joint legislative Long-Term Care Financing Advisory Commission, comprised of legislative members, state department directors (such as Health, Human Services, and Taxation), the Insurance Commissioner, economists, and public representatives with expertise in long-term care, to investigate and assess various public and private methods for funding long-term care services and supports. The commission is designed to operate independently, with its expenditures subject to state procurement laws, and it is authorized to hire a part-time project director and contract with consultants for actuarial assessments, policy analysis, and public education to support its work. The commission is mandated to submit preliminary, interim, and final reports to the Legislature with findings and recommendations, including potential legislative proposals, by specific deadlines, and it will cease to exist on June 30, 2029, unless extended. The bill also appropriates funds for the commission's operational costs, including staffing and consultant contracts, and specifies an effective date of July 1, 3000.
