This bill amends the Health Care Facility Licensure Act by updating section 71-401 of the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024. The amendment includes a new provision that states the sections of the act may be cited collectively and introduces a legislative intent regarding the reimbursement for services provided under the PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) program.

Specifically, the bill expresses the Legislature's intent to direct the Department of Health and Human Services to increase the reimbursement rate for PACE program services to at least eighty percent of the cost of care received at a PACE center.
