Bill Summary
Relative to regulating beds out of service at long term care facilities. Elder Affairs.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to allow long-term care facilities to maintain beds out of service upon request, including beds in open facilities and all beds in previously closed facilities. The Department of Public Health will be required to promulgate rules and regulations for the request and approval process for beds out of service, except for those taken out of service due to a determination of need or a plan of correction. The bill also specifies that beds out of service may be the subject of transfer of ownership and determination of need filings. The provisions of the bill will apply retroactively to beds out of service approved by the Department in 2018, and going forward once the required rules and regulations are promulgated.
