This bill amends the Personal Assistance Services Program (PASP) to automatically grant eligibility for personal assistance services to applicants who are primary caregivers of one or more minor children, provided they meet the existing eligibility criteria. Specifically, it stipulates that these qualifying applicants will be determined eligible for up to 40 hours per week of personal assistance services based on an assessment of their needs by the applicable county-designated agency.

The bill aims to enhance support for caregivers by recognizing their dual role in providing care for children while managing their own health and independence. By expanding the program's provisions to include primary caregivers, the legislation acknowledges the importance of parenting in the context of community-based independent living and ensures that caregivers receive the necessary assistance to maintain their well-being and fulfill their caregiving responsibilities.
