This bill amends current law to increase the maximum age for residents of pediatric long-term care facilities from 19 to 26 years old. It allows these facilities, which are licensed by the Department of Health, to admit and provide services to individuals aged 26 or younger.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the Commissioner of Health adopt necessary rules and regulations for its implementation, ensuring that the transition to this new age limit is properly managed. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
