Bill > SB152

This bill: - Requires continuing care providers to include a description of their plan for resident relocation upon closure or circumstances that necessitate relocation in their contracts. - Requires the Attorney General to promptly review any allegations of violations of the Continuing Care Act received from any source, and to file appropriate actions against alleged violators upon finding the allegations to be credible. - Authorizes the court to impose civil penalties of up to $5 per resident or $500 per day for each day a violation remains uncorrected after the compliance date specified in a notice of violation. - Makes other changes to the disclosure requirements and procedures for addressing violations under the Continuing Care Act. The key purpose of this bill is to enhance protections for residents of continuing care communities by requiring more detailed information about closure plans in contracts and strengthening enforcement of the Continuing Care Act.
