Relative to cueing and supervision in the personal care attendant program. Children, Families and Persons with Disabilities.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend the personal care attendant (PCA) program by allowing individuals who need assistance with two or more daily living activities, specifically requiring supervision and cueing, to be eligible for the program, even if they don't currently meet all existing criteria. The division responsible for the PCA program will be required to develop or update its standards and regulations to include these individuals, ensuring they can receive necessary support. This change aims to expand access to the PCA program for those who benefit from guidance and reminders to manage their daily tasks.
