2003 House Bill 4670 ↩

House Roll Call 696: Passed

To allow senior citizens to deduct their farm and small business expenses for purposes of determining their income eligibility for the EPIC program, which provides prescription drug coverage to nonistitutionalized seniors whose household income is at or below 200% of the federal poverty level. The bill would establish that adult foster care homes, homes for the aged, and assisted living facilities are not considered "institutions," so seniors living in them would be eligible for EPIC.
