This bill, titled the Lifespan Respite Care Reauthorization Act of 2025 , aims to continue and enhance the federal program supporting respite care services. Its primary purpose is to reauthorize the Lifespan Respite Care Program under the Public Health Service Act. Key provisions include extending the program's funding authorization for an additional six years, specifically from fiscal years 2025 through 2030 . Furthermore, the bill amends the definition of "family caregiver" to be more inclusive, changing it from "unpaid adult" to "unpaid individual." This modification ensures that a broader range of caregivers, regardless of age, can be recognized and supported by the program.
