SB 1335 Pennsylvania Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of June 13, 1967 (P.L.31, No.21), known as the Human Services Code, in public assistance, further providing for definitions, for administration of assistance programs and for regulations for protection of information; in the aged, further providing for Life Program; and making a repeal.

This bill updates Pennsylvania's Human Services Code to clarify definitions and improve how assistance programs are administered for older adults. It specifically establishes new rules for the LIFE Program and older adult daily living centers, ensuring applicants receive clear information about eligibility and service options before being assigned to managed care plans. The legislation also mandates that government reports track enrollment in these programs by county and requires providers to include LIFE program details in their educational materials. Additionally, the bill repeals an older section of the Fiscal Code to formally integrate these long-term care services into the current legal framework.
