Subcommittee shortens pilot caregiver grant program to one year
Summary
House Bill 14-43, which provides a grant for family caregivers of people with Alzheimer's or related dementia, was amended in subcommittee to shorten a three-year pilot to one year and moved to full finance unanimously.
Representative Jones told the committee that House Bill 14-43 provides a grant for people caring for loved ones with Alzheimer's disease or related dementia. The bill originally established a three-year pilot; an amendment adopted in the committee reduced the pilot to one year.
The committee voted 13-0 to advance the amended bill to full finance. Representative Jones said the change means the program will be a one-year pilot instead of three years, and the subcommittee recorded no further debate.
