Long-Term Care Transparency Act
Sponsored By: Representative Langworthy
Introduced
Summary
Creates an annual, consolidated federal report on State Long-Term Care Ombudsman programs that would require the Assistant Secretary to aggregate state reports and summarize their findings for Congress. It aims to centralize reporting so lawmakers can spot trends and oversight needs more easily.
Show full summary
- Families and long-term care residents would get clearer congressional visibility into patterns of complaints and program findings through a single yearly synthesis.
- State Long-Term Care Ombudsman programs would continue to file reports under current law, but those reports would be compiled and summarized annually by the Assistant Secretary. This change does not alter state operations or funding.
- Congress would receive the consolidated report each year for oversight, specifically the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, the Senate Special Committee on Aging, and the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.
*This change would not authorize new spending or new programs and is informational rather than budget-increasing.*
