Bill Summary

Department of Social Services; unlicensed care homes; registration. Requires every person that constitutes, or that operates or maintains, an unlicensed care home, defined in the bill, to register such home with the Commissioner of the Department of Social Services.

AI Summary

This bill requires any person operating an "unlicensed care home," which is defined as a residential setting providing room, board, and services to three or fewer unrelated individuals that is not officially licensed or certified by the state, to register with the Commissioner of the Department of Social Services. The registration process will involve submitting specific information about the operator, the home's activities, facilities, and services, and the Commissioner is directed to provide assistance to those seeking to register. This measure aims to bring greater oversight to these types of care settings, which are not currently covered by existing licensing requirements, by ensuring the Department of Social Services has a record of their existence and operations.
