The bill amends the Alzheimer's Dementia and Other Forms of Dementia Special Care Disclosure Act to include the requirement for facilities to disclose the type of care they provide, specifically adding "memory care" to the list of services that must be communicated to potential residents and their representatives. Facilities that advertise or market themselves as offering memory care or similar services must submit a standardized disclosure form to the State Department of Health, detailing their care philosophy, placement processes, staff training, and other relevant information. Additionally, the bill introduces penalties for individuals who misrepresent their facility's capabilities regarding memory care, making them liable for civil penalties and misdemeanors if they fail to meet the established criteria.

Furthermore, the bill establishes the Alzheimer-Dementia Disclosure Act Advisory Council, which will provide recommendations to the State Commissioner of Health regarding the disclosure form and related rules. The Council will consist of nine members with expertise in memory care or consumer representation, ensuring a balanced perspective. The bill also mandates that facilities offering specialized memory or dementia care post their disclosure forms on their websites and that the Department maintain a public list of facilities that have complied with the disclosure requirements. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
