Senate Bill No. 1502 amends the Alzheimers Dementia and Other Forms of Dementia Special Care Disclosure Act by eliminating the Alzheimer-Dementia Disclosure Act Advisory Council and updating various statutory language. The bill clarifies definitions related to special care for individuals with dementia and modifies the requirements for facilities that provide such care. Specifically, it mandates that facilities disclose detailed information about their services, including care philosophy, staff training, and resident activities, to the State Department of Health and to representatives of individuals considering placement in these facilities.

Additionally, the bill introduces new requirements for facilities to post disclosure forms on their websites and in conspicuous locations within their premises. It also establishes a public database maintained by the Department that lists facilities that have submitted disclosure forms, ensuring transparency for consumers. The effective date for the provisions of this act is set for November 1, 2026.
