This bill, introduced in September 2024, aims to increase transparency and protect vulnerable people with intellectual disabilities living in intermediate care facilities that receive Medicaid funding. The bill requires the federal government to create a public website within two years that displays detailed information about these facilities, including recent inspection results, deficiency findings, complaints, and how people can file complaints about abuse or neglect. The legislation also establishes a new advisory council within one year that will bring together people with disabilities, family members, facility staff, advocates, and government representatives to develop recommendations for preventing abuse and neglect in these facilities, with a report due 18 months after the council's first meeting. Additionally, the bill expands access to national background check databases so that Medicare and Medicaid providers can better screen potential employees for hiring purposes. No specific federal funding amount is mentioned in the legislation.
