AI Summary
This bill aims to enhance the protection of rights for residents of assisted living facilities in Massachusetts. It amends the state's General Laws to require assisted living facilities, including those providing continuing care, to comply with chapters 186 and 239 of the General Laws, which cover tenant rights and eviction procedures. The bill also directs the Attorney General to promulgate regulations under Chapter 93A of the General Laws to safeguard the consumer rights of assisted living residents and designate violations of these regulations, as well as the existing regulations under Chapter 19, as unfair or deceptive practices under Chapter 93A. The Attorney General is required to implement these new regulations within one year of the bill's passage.
