Kentucky HB393 - Alzheimer's and Dementia Services Act
Summary
Kentucky enacted HB393 to strengthen Alzheimer's and dementia services coordination by expanding the Alzheimer's Disease Advisory Council from 15 to 16 members and shifting its annual reporting deadline to December 1. The law requires the dementia services coordinator to submit annual reports on Office operations and state plan progress to the Legislative Research Commission, and directs the council to develop a provider toolkit on early detection and diagnosis by December 1, 2026.
What changed
HB393 amends KRS 194A.601 and KRS 194A.603 to modify Alzheimer's and dementia services administration in Kentucky. The law increases unpaid caregiver representation on the advisory council from 15 to 16 members and changes the annual reporting date from July 1 to December 1. It also mandates the council to develop annual year-long initiatives advancing state plan priorities, with the first initiative being a provider toolkit for early detection and diagnosis.
Affected parties including state health agencies, the dementia services coordinator, and healthcare providers should prepare for new reporting obligations and the upcoming December 1, 2026 deadline for the provider toolkit initiative. The expanded council membership requires appointment of one additional unpaid caregiver member. Legislative stakeholders will receive enhanced annual reporting on state dementia services implementation.
What to do next
- Dementia Services Coordinator must prepare annual reports on Office operations and state plan progress
- Alzheimer's Advisory Council must develop and distribute provider toolkit on early detection and diagnosis by December 1, 2026
- State health agencies should prepare for expanded council membership and new reporting requirements
