An Act amending the act of June 13, 1967 (P.L.31, No.21), known as the Human Services Code, in departmental powers and duties as to licensing, further providing for regulations.

This bill directs the Pennsylvania Human Services department to update its licensing rules within 60 days to include assisted living and supplemental health care services under the state's Community HealthChoices program. Specifically, it requires the department to submit necessary paperwork to the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services so that licensed assisted living facilities can be certified as medical assistance providers for these services. The legislation affects assisted living residences and the state health department by formally integrating these facilities into the existing healthcare coverage system.
