House Bill No. 2262 aims to enhance the transparency and accountability of facilities that provide care for individuals with Alzheimer's dementia and other forms of dementia. The bill amends Section 1-879.2c of the Alzheimer's Dementia and Other Forms of Dementia Special Care Disclosure Act, requiring facilities to disclose specific information about the care they provide. Key provisions include the requirement for facilities to submit a standardized disclosure form to the Department of Health before entering into care agreements, and to provide this form to representatives of individuals considering placement. Additionally, referral agencies must provide the disclosure form for each recommended facility, and facilities are mandated to post a complaint poster for residents and their families.

The bill also establishes the Alzheimer-Dementia Disclosure Act Advisory Council, which will advise the State Commissioner of Health on 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. Violations of the act's provisions will lead to enforcement actions by the Department, and facilities must maintain an updated presence on a state-maintained website that lists compliant facilities and their disclosures. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
