Senate Bill No. 122 mandates the Commissioner of Social Services, in collaboration with the Commissioner of Aging and Disability Services, to conduct a comprehensive study of the state's long-term care needs. The findings of this study are required to be reported to the relevant joint standing committees of the General Assembly by January 1, 2027. This new section is inserted into the law as Section 1, effective upon passage.

The bill does not impose any fiscal impact on the state or municipalities, as the involved agencies possess the necessary expertise to fulfill the study's requirements. There are no deletions from current law noted in this bill, and it has received a favorable report from the Aging Committee with a vote of 13 in favor and 1 against.
