Bill > SB358

This bill amends existing requirements for continuing care facilities, which are organizations that provide a range of residential and health services to residents, often for life. Specifically, it mandates that at least two of the quarterly meetings between the facility's governing body (like the board of directors) and residents must be open to all residents. Furthermore, certain key individuals, including a board member who is not an employee and the chief executive officer, must personally attend at least two of these meetings annually. The bill also introduces a provision allowing the provider's board to include a resident as a guest attendee if requested by the resident council or a majority of independent living residents, though this guest attendee can be excluded from executive sessions where sensitive matters like personnel issues or legal consultations are discussed.
