During last week’s Polsinelli Home Care Industry Update, HCAOA CEO Jason Lee shared the association’s ongoing efforts in key advocacy areas, including tax policy, budget reconciliation, and immigration. HCAOA met with the House Ways and Means Committee and other offices to understand what the staff had in mind regarding relief options for private pay and for our veterans. Recently reintroduced bills like the Credit for Caring Act and the Lowering Costs for Caregivers Act of 2025, to which HCAOA submitted a letter of support, provide critical support for those in need of home care services.

Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a final rule establishing the first federal regulations for Adult Protective Services (APS). The regulations took effect on June 7. The entire rule is at https://acl.gov/apsrule. Many employers struggle to comply with federal regulations issued by the DOL, NLRB, or the EEOC, especially when agency positions change. Last month, the Supreme Court overruled Chevron, USA Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council. Because of this decision, courts will now give statues their "best" interpretation, meaning agencies will have less leeway to write broad rules. Instead, they will have to write rules that are closer to statutory language. They may also have to defend some existing rules against closer scrutiny in court. And that closer scrutiny could upset some recently adopted or proposed rules, such as rules on overtime, safety inspections, and independent contracting.
