Under the bill, a nursing home is to maintain, at all times, a supply of personal protection equipment that is sufficient to sustain the health care needs of 20 percent of the total number of residents within the nursing home for a reasonable period of time, if there is sufficient personal protection equipment available, either by contribution from a third-party or for purchase at a reasonable cost to the nursing home, and if the purchase of such personal protection equipment is within the financial means of the nursing home. The bill provides that a nursing home is to submit a report biennially to the Department of Health detailing its personal protection equipment inventory.
