HF 933: Relating to pediatric palliative care centers, and including effective date provisions

Signed into law

What it does

This bill relates to pediatric palliative care centers (PPCCs). The bill defines “hospice patient” as an individual who is either an individual diagnosed by a physician as terminally ill with a probable life expectancy of one year or less, or an individual under years of age diagnosed with a chronic, complex, life-threatening illness that is expected to shorten the individual’s life expectancy, and who is not expected to survive past years of age. The bill defines “pediatric palliative care center” as a residential care facility that serves individuals under years of age, who have been diagnosed with a chronic, complex, life-threatening illness that is expected to shorten the individual’s life expectancy, and who are not expected to survive past years of age; and that only provides respite care services and hospice program services.
