The proposed legislation, sHB 6912, establishes a 15-member Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia Task Force, effective October 1, 2025. The task force is charged with developing a comprehensive State Alzheimer's Plan that addresses the needs of individuals living with Alzheimer's disease and dementia, as well as support for their caregivers. The plan will include findings and recommendations on long-term care, existing resources, public awareness, and healthcare service improvements, and it will be updated every four years. The task force is required to submit annual reports to the Governor and relevant legislative committees starting January 1, 2027.

The composition of the task force includes 11 members appointed by the Governor, alongside individuals with personal experience related to Alzheimer's, healthcare providers, and representatives from relevant organizations. The bill specifies that the aging and disability services commissioner will convene the first meeting within 30 days of all appointments, and members will elect a chairperson and vice chairperson. Additionally, the administrative staff of the aging committee will support the task force, and a redundant reference to the "State Alzheimer's Plan" has been removed for clarity. Overall, the bill does not impose any fiscal impact on state or municipal budgets.
