Bill > SB2939

This bill amends three existing laws – the Assisted Living and Shared Housing Act, the MC/DD Act, and the ID/DD Community Care Act – to require that any facility licensed under these acts must provide advance notice of closure to the Office of the State Long Term Care Ombudsman. The Office of the State Long Term Care Ombudsman is an independent agency that advocates for the rights and well-being of residents in long-term care facilities. This change ensures that this office is informed when a facility plans to close, allowing them to assist residents in finding new accommodations and ensuring a smoother transition, particularly for vulnerable individuals who may need help with relocation.
