AI Summary

This bill establishes a temporary state commission to study and investigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic response on deaths in nursing homes. The commission will examine the measures taken by nursing homes to ensure the safety of their residents, the effectiveness of such measures, any increase in death rates of nursing home residents attributable to COVID-19, and the effectiveness of current state and federal laws, executive orders, rules, and regulations governing the pandemic response of nursing homes. The commission will make recommendations for legislation, rules, and/or regulations relating to the handling of future pandemic responses by nursing homes. The commission will submit a report of its findings and recommendations to the governor and state legislature one year after its first meeting, at which point the provisions of the bill will be repealed.
