Alaska SB76 establishes complex care residential homes for individuals with specialized needs.

Alaska SB76 introduces complex care residential homes, which provide 24-hour care for up to 15 individuals with mental, behavioral, medical, or disability-related needs. The bill amends the state's definition of "assisted living home" and "hospital" to exclude these new homes. It also mandates the Department of Health to seek federal approval for necessary waivers or state plan amendments. The provisions take effect only if federal approval is granted by July 1, 2031.
