summary

This amendment changes the implementation date of the consolidation of state-funded long-term care services in the bill from January 1, 2012 to July 1, 2012. It requires an interim report on progress by January 5, 2012 as well as by November 1, 2012, which is in the bill. Instead of requiring a report by January 1, 2012 on the inclusion of services for persons with mental health needs and intellectual disabilities needs, it requires a report by January 5, 2012 on the feasibility of the inclusion of those services.
