A BILL FOR AN ACT
relating to care homes.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Section 346-53, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (c) to read as follows:
"(c)
The director, pursuant to chapter 91, shall determine the rate of
payment for domiciliary care, including care provided in licensed developmental
disabilities domiciliary homes, community care foster family homes, and
certified adult foster homes, to be provided to recipients who are eligible for
federal [supplementary] supplemental security income or public
assistance, or both. The director shall
provide for level of care payment as follows:
(1) Beginning
on July 1, [2008,] 2024, for adult residential care homes
classified as facility type I, licensed developmental disabilities domiciliary
homes as defined under section 321-15.9, community care foster family homes as
defined under section 321-481, and certified adult foster homes as defined
under section 321-11.2, the state supplemental payment shall not exceed [$651.90;]
$767; and
(2) Beginning
on July 1, [2008,] 2024, for adult residential care homes
classified as facility type II, the state supplemental payment shall not exceed
[$759.90.] $875.
If the operator does not provide the
quality of care consistent with the needs of the individual to the satisfaction
of the department, the department may remove the recipient to another facility.
The department shall handle abusive
practices under this section in accordance with chapter 91.
Nothing in this subsection shall allow the
director to remove a recipient from an adult residential care home or other
similar institution if the recipient does not desire to be removed and the
operator is agreeable to the recipient remaining, except where the recipient
requires a higher level of care than provided or where the recipient no longer
requires any domiciliary care."
SECTION 2. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
