The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6597, aims to amend the general statutes to establish specific standards of care for members of the LGBTQ+ community residing in long-term care facilities. The intent of the bill is to ensure that these individuals receive the highest quality of care and maintain a good quality of life while in such facilities.

The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language that emphasizes the need for tailored standards of care for LGBTQ+ residents. This initiative reflects a commitment to addressing the unique needs and challenges faced by this community in long-term care settings, promoting inclusivity and respect for all individuals regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
