The bill establishes the Alzheimers Disease Awareness Program under a new section, 430.5016, Florida Statutes, which mandates the Department of Elderly Affairs to contract for its development and implementation. The program aims to assist residents affected by Alzheimers disease and dementia-related disorders by providing validated information through various resources, including a dedicated website. Key components of the program include promoting early detection, healthy aging, and community resources, as well as utilizing the department's existing Resource Guide. Additionally, the program will feature outreach initiatives targeting underserved communities and will involve collaboration with healthcare providers to enhance care for affected individuals.

The bill also outlines specific requirements for the nonprofit organization that will be contracted to implement the program, emphasizing its experience and capacity to manage statewide initiatives. Furthermore, the Alzheimers Disease Advisory Committee is tasked with evaluating the program annually and making funding recommendations. To support this initiative, the bill appropriates $1.5 million in nonrecurring funds from the General Revenue Fund for the 2025-2026 fiscal year. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
