Bill > SB937

This bill amends the Virginia Code to modify the licensing process for assisted living facilities and adult day centers by establishing new rules for provisional licenses. Under the proposed changes, the Commissioner of Social Services may issue a provisional license to an applicant who is temporarily unable to fully comply with all licensure requirements. The bill requires that any facility issued a provisional license must develop and complete corrective actions that are acceptable to the Commissioner and follow a schedule set by the Commissioner before they can appeal the provisional license. These provisional licenses can be renewed but cannot exceed 12 consecutive months. Additionally, the bill mandates that facilities must prominently display the provisional license at all public entrances and include a notice that details specific licensing standard violations and correction deadlines, which must be available for inspection at the facility and on its website. The bill aims to provide a structured approach for facilities to address licensing deficiencies while maintaining transparency about their compliance status.
