HB1282

Hawaii HB1282 amends the definition of a certified caregiver and adult foster home for individuals with developmental or intellectual disabilities.

Hawaii HB1282 modifies the definition of a certified caregiver to include individuals who are eighteen years of age or older and reside in an adult foster home. It also defines an adult foster home as a private family home providing care on a twenty-four hour basis to adults with developmental or intellectual disabilities. The bill allows a certified caregiver to house not more than two adults with developmental or intellectual disabilities who are unrelated to the caregiver at the same time, with a potential waiver for up to three adults.
