Ensuring Access to Affordable and Quality Home Care for Seniors and People with Disabilities Act
This bill clarifies and preserves existing labor law exemptions for home care workers under the Fair Labor Standards Act. It specifically defines "companionship services" to include non-medical in-home care (like bathing, meal prep, and medication reminders) and ensures these services remain exempt from overtime pay requirements, even when provided through third-party agencies. The bill directly affects home care aides, agencies employing them, and the seniors/disabled individuals receiving care. It does not create new benefits or funding but maintains current labor exemptions for this workforce.
