Establishes the caregiver coordinating commission
What changed between versions
The commission's primary function was updated to include reviewing existing programs and evaluating their effectiveness, rather than just planning and developing services.
The commission is now required to consist of exactly twelve members appointed by the Speaker, Minority Leaders, Senate leadership, Governor, and agency directors, with the Office for Aging director serving as chair.
The appointment deadline for commission members was changed from thirty days to sixty days after the act becomes effective.
The deadline for the commission to submit its final report to the Governor and legislative leaders was extended from 180 days to one year.
A specific definition was added for 'informal family caregiver,' aligning it with the existing definition in the elder law.
