AN ACT CONCERNING THE STANDARDS OF CARE FOR MEMBERS OF THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY IN LONG-TERM CARE FACILITIES.

HB 6597 would amend Connecticut's general statutes to establish specific standards of care for LGBTQ+ individuals residing in long-term care facilities, such as nursing homes. The bill directly affects LGBTQ+ residents in these facilities by requiring facilities to meet these new standards. Key provisions include mandating that facilities provide respectful, inclusive care that addresses the unique needs of LGBTQ+ residents, though the bill text does not specify exact requirements. This legislation aims to ensure quality of life and high standards of care for this population within existing long-term care settings.
