This bill amends the Health Care Facility Licensure Act by redefining the term "adult day service" in section 71-404 of the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024. The amendment 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. Additionally, 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.

Furthermore, the bill repeals the original section 71-404 and declares an emergency, allowing the act to take effect immediately upon passage and approval. The changes aim to enhance the clarity and regulation of adult day services within the state, ensuring that the definitions align with current practices and standards.
