SB6019 amends home care rate statutes to improve compliance and funding mechanisms.

SB6019 revises home care rate statutes to ensure compliance with labor and industry standards, and to establish a transparent process for setting labor and administrative rates. The bill creates a rate-setting board to determine these rates, considering factors such as wage changes, employer contributions, and state or federal law changes. It mandates that labor rates be used exclusively for wages and benefits of home care workers, while administrative rates cover agency operational costs.
