Statute overview

About this statute

The section replaces the definition of “care-dependent child” with a definition covering a child aged 1 to 18 who needs and receives permanent home care because of a severe mental or physical disability. Section 2 amends the principal Act so the Minister must make the grant, subject to the Act and with the concurrence of the Minister of Finance. The Minister may not make regulations under subsection (1) unless the Minister of Finance concurs, except for the listed paragraphs. This section gives the Act its short title and says section 5 starts when the principal Act starts.
