This bill amends section 71-404 of the Health Care Facility Licensure Act in Nebraska, specifically redefining the term "adult day service." The revised definition clarifies that adult day services are provided to individuals requiring care and support for less than twenty-four consecutive hours in a community-based group program. Notably, the bill specifies that adult day services do not include community-based waiver services provided by entities certified as specialized programs under the Developmental Disabilities Services Act or a PACE center.
Additionally, the bill repeals the original section 71-404, indicating a complete overhaul of the previous language. The act is designated as an emergency measure, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
