Where do things stand?
H2224 related to creating a LTC plan for achieving policy goals was signed by the Governor on July 1. Effective July 1, 2024, H2224 requires Hawaii's Executive Office on Aging, in coordination with the State Health Planning and Development Agency, to create a comprehensive long-term care plan to accomplish certain long-term care policy goals that ensure the availability of a full continuum of institutional and community-based services. The bill establishes and appropriates funds for one long-term care planner position within the Executive Office on Aging to oversee the development and implementation of the long-term care plan. The Executive Office on Aging is required to submit a report to the legislature prior to the 2024 regular session.
