Rehabilitation Services Amendments

HB 145 clarifies the membership and appointment process for Utah's Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Advisory Committee. It specifies that the committee must include individuals with personal experience of brain/spinal cord injuries, parents/caregivers of affected individuals, qualified healthcare professionals (who don't benefit from the injury fund), and two legislators appointed by chamber leadership. The bill sets four-year terms with staggered appointments, requires the committee to establish priorities for distributing funds from the Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Fund, and review care quality for affected individuals. It does not appropriate new funding or change the fund's existing structure. The committee's duties include evaluating care provided through charitable clinics and identifying potential new funding sources.
