Bill > SB241

This bill requires that before any new license or renewal for a home care organization, which provides services in people's homes, can be issued, all existing home care organizations must first be inspected by the Commissioner to ensure they are compliant with regulations. Additionally, the bill prohibits home care organizations from operating out of a private residence or a virtual office, meaning they must have a physical, non-residential office space. The bill also directs the Virginia Department of Health's Office of Licensure and Certification to create and provide guidelines explaining how existing regulations apply to these organizations.
