Plain-language change summary

The recent amendments to Bill HB 4771 introduced requirements for the Department of Human Services and the Department of Healthcare and Family Services to compile and share monthly reports on the status of long-term care eligibility applications and appeals. Specifically, these reports must detail how long applications and appeals are pending, categorized by timeframes ranging from under 45 days to over 24 months.
