AI Summary
This bill establishes requirements for residential health care facilities during a state disaster emergency involving a disease outbreak. It requires the Department of Health to issue guidance on precautions and procedures to maintain the health and safety of residents and staff, including restrictions on visitations, staff training, and resident communication with their representatives. The bill also empowers the Department to utilize public health emergency funds to secure alternative placement options for residents, such as home care services. Additionally, the bill mandates daily reporting by residential health care facilities on infection and fatality rates, and allows the Commissioner to appoint a temporary operator if a facility experiences high fatality and infection rates due to negligence. The bill also amends the definition of "established operator" and "facility" in the Public Health Law to include residential health care facilities for the purposes of this new legislation.
