HB 23-1203

House Bill 23-1203, which has been signed into law, allows parents or guardians of minor children in home- or community-based programs to act as both the child’s authorized representative and attendant. This means that a parent or guardian can make decisions on behalf of their child while also providing care directly. The bill affects families with children enrolled in these specific programs and simplifies the roles by combining them under one person, typically the parent or guardian. Since it has been signed, this law is now active and being implemented.
