By Maggie Flynn | December 12, 2019
If Sen. Chuck Grassley has his way, a new oversight bill for nursing homes will be introduced this month — one that reauthorizes the Elder Justice Act and sets up new funding for various programs in the 2010 law, passed as part of the Affordable Care Act.

In his prepared opening remarks to the July 23 hearing on elder justice, he stressed the importance of revisiting some of the programs in the act.
