AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Section 12 of Chapter 118E, which relates to medical assistance programs, specifically focusing on the Personal Care Attendant (PCA) program. The key provision is that the division responsible for these programs will develop or update standards and regulations to ensure that individuals who are otherwise eligible for the PCA program, but who need assistance with supervision and cueing to perform at least two daily living activities, are included as eligible members. This change aims to expand access to PCA services for those who require this specific type of support to manage their daily lives.
