What changed in the latest version
22 added · 27 removedPlain-language change summary
The revised version of HB 1295 has made several key changes. Notably, it now allows facilities to accept forms of payment that do not cover the full cost of services, rather than just those that do not cover the total cost. Additionally, the new version removes the requirement for at least 20% of service recipients to pay lower fees, simplifying the fee structure for lower-income individuals. These adjustments aim to provide more flexibility for care facilities while ensuring they remain accessible to those in need.
