            For medicaid recipients receiving services under the home- and
       community-based services program for persons with a brain injury, the
       bill removes the nonmedical requirement for transitional living.
       
       
       
       Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado:
            SECTION 1.  25.5-6-703 (10), Colorado Revised Statutes, is
       amended to read:
            25.5-6-703.  Definitions.  As used in this part 7, unless the context
       otherwise requires:
            (10)  "Transitional living" means a nonmedical residential program
       that provides training and twenty-four-hour supervision to a recipient
       over a six-to-twelve-month period that will enhance the recipient's ability
       to live more independently.
            SECTION 2.  Safety clause.  The general assembly hereby finds,
       determines, and declares that this act is necessary for the immediate
       preservation of the public peace, health, and safety.
