H.B. No. 634 establishes a task force dedicated to evaluating the housing needs of senior citizens who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or questioning. The task force will assess the evolving housing requirements for these individuals, particularly those who may need to transition into long-term care facilities, such as assisted living or nursing homes. It will consist of ten members, including the chair of the LGBTQ caucus of the House of Representatives and appointees from the governor, lieutenant governor, and speaker of the House, all of whom must seek input from relevant organizations and stakeholders.
The task force is required to meet as called by its presiding officer and will not receive compensation for service, though members can be reimbursed for necessary expenses. It must submit a report by September 1, 2026, detailing its findings and potential housing solutions, including legislative recommendations. The task force will be dissolved, and the act will expire on December 1, 2026. The bill takes effect on September 1, 2025.
