The proposed legislation, General Assembly Raised Bill No. 6984, aims to amend Section 17b-343 of the general statutes concerning the maximum allowable rates for various services, including adult day care services and transportation. The bill mandates that the Commissioner of Social Services establish a fee schedule for these services, with specific provisions for annual increases. Notably, the bill introduces a requirement for a ten percent increase in the fee schedule for adult day care services effective July 1, 2025, compared to the previous fiscal year, specifically to enhance funding for adult day care transportation.

Additionally, the bill retains existing provisions that allow for annual adjustments to the fee schedule based on service costs and includes previous mandates for increases in fees for adult day care services and meals on wheels. The overall intent of the bill is to ensure that adult day care services receive adequate funding, particularly for transportation, thereby improving access and support for elderly individuals who rely on these services.
