HB 17-1045

HB 17-1045 is a Colorado bill that extends the Home Care Allowance Grant Program by changing when it will end. The program will continue until officials notify the state's revisor of statutes that there’s an alternative way to provide home care services under a different waiver program. This affects people who rely on home-based and community-based support services for things like personal care and medical assistance. Since the bill has been signed, the extension is now in effect, meaning the grant program will stay active until the specified condition is met.

Official Summary

The bill modifies the repeal date of the home care allowance grant program (program). The program will repeal when the revisor of statutes receives notice that there is a consumer-directed service delivery option available for homemaker, personal care, and medical support services for individuals who are receiving home-based and community-based services pursuant to the supported living services waiver. The bill requires the executive director of the department of human services and the executive director of the department of health care policy and financing to notify the revisor of statutes when the triggering event occurs. (Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)
