An Act establishing the Home Care Employment Standards Advisory Board; relating to payment for personal care services; and providing for an effective date.

Summary

The bill establishes a new advisory board to study and recommend standards for home‑care workers and the agencies that employ them. It requires agencies that receive Medicaid funding for personal care services to devote a set share of that funding to employee wages, increasing the share over time, with a hardship exemption option. The board must produce biennial reports and the law only takes effect if federal approval of the state Medicaid plan is received.
