Bill > HB3414

This bill amends the Assisted Living and Shared Housing Establishments Act to require assisted living facilities to report specific types of incidents to the Department of Public Health. Specifically, facilities must report any incident or accident that results in significant physical harm or injury to a resident, or any situation that requires a resident to receive immediate medical attention, including hospitalization. The bill makes an important distinction that normal health or medical decline of a resident does not constitute a reportable incident. By mandating these reporting requirements, the bill aims to improve oversight and tracking of resident safety in assisted living facilities, potentially helping to identify and address potential systemic issues or risks to residents' well-being. The new reporting requirement will help public health authorities maintain better awareness of significant events occurring in these care settings.
