AI Summary

This bill aims to improve transparency and accountability in Massachusetts nursing homes. It requires nursing home operators to prepare and file an annual consolidated financial report, which must be reviewed by a certified public accountant and include detailed financial statements, patient revenue information, and a visual representation of the organization's structure, including related parties. The bill also grants the Office of the State Auditor access to these reports and requires the Auditor to periodically report on the quality of care, financial practices, and statewide oversight of Massachusetts skilled nursing facilities.
