Extending Alzheimer's Disease and Other Dementia Advisory Council sunset date
This bill extends the expiration date of West Virginia's Alzheimer's Disease and Other Dementia Advisory Council, preventing it from sunsetting (ending) as originally scheduled. The council, composed of voting members including people with dementia, caregivers, healthcare providers, and advocacy representatives, reviews state dementia care services, assesses healthcare system capacity, and makes recommendations on policies and resources. The extension maintains the existing council structure and responsibilities without altering its duties or creating new policies. It directly affects the council's continued operation to address dementia care needs across the state. (100 words)
