The bill amends the adult care home licensure act in Kansas, specifically updating the definition of "home plus" to increase the maximum number of residents allowed from 12 to 16. This change aims to provide more flexibility for adult care homes in accommodating residents. Additionally, the bill repeals the existing section K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 39-923, which indicates a significant overhaul of the definitions and regulations surrounding adult care homes.

In the revised definition, a "home plus" is now defined as a residence caring for no more than 16 individuals, with specific provisions for residents needing personal care and potentially supervised nursing care. The bill also emphasizes that any home plus facility providing care for more than eight individuals must adjust staffing and resources to meet the needs of residents, particularly those with dementia, who require annual training for staff. Overall, the bill seeks to enhance the capacity and standards of care in adult care homes across the state.
