The proposed legislation, General Assembly Raised Bill No. 1333, establishes a working group tasked with studying the Department of Social Services' quality metrics program for nursing home services, as outlined in section 17b-340d of the general statutes. The working group will be chaired by the chairpersons of the joint standing committee of the General Assembly that focuses on aging, who will also appoint additional members, including the Commissioner of Social Services or their designee, along with professionals experienced in Medicaid reimbursement for nursing home services. The first meeting of the working group is required to occur within sixty days of the bill's passage.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the working group submit a report detailing its findings and recommendations to the relevant joint standing committee by January 1, 2026. The administrative staff of the aging committee will support the working group, which will dissolve upon submitting its report or on January 1, 2026, whichever occurs later. The bill introduces new legal language to establish this working group and its functions, while no deletions from current law are specified.
