Health: home health care; home help caregiver program; provide for. Creates new act.
This bill creates the Home Help Caregiver Council within the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services to oversee the state's home help caregiver program. The council will be governed by a seven-member board that includes representatives from state agencies, participants receiving care, and nonprofit organizations advocating for older adults and people with disabilities. Board members will serve four-year terms with staggered expiration dates to ensure continuity, and the council will have the authority to make recommendations regarding adequate payments and workforce supports for personal care attendants.
