Bill > HB4798

This bill modifies regulations regarding compliance reviews for assisted living facilities by changing the timing and process of architectural plan submissions. Specifically, the bill requires that individuals who construct or modify an assisted living facility submit building plans to the department for review before completing construction or modification, rather than before beginning construction. The executive commissioner of the Health and Human Services Commission must establish a procedure that includes setting reasonable deadlines for the department to complete plan reviews. The bill removes the word "early" from the section heading and adjusts language to emphasize review prior to project completion. The changes aim to ensure that assisted living facility plans are thoroughly reviewed for compliance with architectural requirements before the construction or modification process is finalized. The new rules will be adopted as soon as practicable after the bill's effective date, which is set for September 1, 2025.
