Bill Summary

Relative to conflicts of interests at aging services access points. Elder Affairs.

AI Summary

This bill aims to address conflicts of interest in the Aging Services Access Points home care program. It requires the Executive Office of Elder Affairs to mandate that Aging Service Access Points (ASAPs) take steps to reduce potential conflicts of interest, including ensuring that no owner or employee of a Massachusetts home care agency or other ASAP contractor or subcontractor is a member of the ASAP's governing board or body. This is intended to prevent situations where an ASAP's decisions or actions could be influenced by the personal or financial interests of its board members or contractors.
