Explicitly expands the statutory definition of eligible entities for a federal dementia and Alzheimer’s provider training program to include public and nonprofit private entities and adds unspecified language to a related provision.
Introduced March 10, 2026 by Shelley Moore Capito · Last progress March 10, 2026
Expands which organizations count as eligible entities for a federal dementia and Alzheimer’s provider training program by explicitly adding “a public or nonprofit private entity” to the statutory definition, and inserts additional unspecified language into a related provision. The change clarifies who can be treated as an eligible organization for program activities, but the draft provided does not include new funding, timelines, or the full text of the insertion, so practical effects depend on the omitted language and agency implementation.
