Hawaii HB1119 amends home care agency licensing requirements to protect clients and ensure safety.
Hawaii HB1119 amends the licensing requirements for home care agencies to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of clients. Beginning July 1, 2010, each home care agency must be licensed by the Department of Health. The bill exempts certain agencies from licensing if they provide services under contract with the City and County of Honolulu or exclusively to Medicaid participants. Home care services include personal care, homemaker assistance, and respite care. Violations of these licensing requirements are subject to penalties and remedies.
