AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law by adding language to protect the rights of assisted living residents. Specifically, it requires assisted living residences, including those providing continuing care, to comply with chapters 186 and 239 of the general laws, which cover landlord-tenant and eviction laws. Additionally, the bill directs the Attorney General to promulgate regulations to protect the consumer rights of assisted living residents against unfair or deceptive practices, and to consider violations of these regulations as violations of the state's consumer protection law, Chapter 93A. The Attorney General must promulgate these regulations within one year of the bill's passage.
