The bill focuses on improving the quality of care, expanding service options, increasing workforce capacity, promoting equity, and enhancing consumer choice in receiving long-term services and supports. It seeks to address disparities in accessing HCBS by providing funding, establishing standards for care delivery, and supporting caregivers. If enacted, this legislation could lead to significant improvements in the availability and quality of HCBS for vulnerable populations across the United States.
