This bill aims to amend the Code of West Virginia by extending the sunset date of the Alzheimer's Disease and Other Dementia Advisory Council from July 31, 2026, to July 31, 2030. The council is tasked with examining the needs of individuals living with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, reviewing available services, and assessing the capacity of healthcare providers to meet these needs. Additionally, the council will consider various topics, including trends in the population, existing resources, and strategies to improve care and support for individuals and their caregivers.

Furthermore, the bill introduces new language stating that the Alzheimer's Disease and Other Dementia Advisory Council will serve an advisory role in the implementation of the State Alzheimer's Plan. This extension allows the council to continue its important work in addressing the challenges faced by individuals with Alzheimer's and other dementias, as well as their families, ensuring that necessary support and resources are available in the state.
