AI Summary
This bill establishes the Nursing Home Supplemental Fund, which will provide financial assistance, such as loans, loan guarantees, and grants, to nursing homes that are experiencing financial distress. To be eligible for assistance, a nursing home must demonstrate actual revenue losses exceeding $1 million in a fiscal year, directly caused by a reduction or elimination of federal Medicaid funding after July 4, 2025. The Department of Community Health will administer the fund, setting eligibility criteria, terms, and conditions, and will report annually to the Governor and the General Assembly on its findings and recommendations, with these reports published on the department's website. The bill also authorizes the department to create necessary rules and regulations, and it will only become effective if an appropriation is made specifically for its purposes, with a contingent repeal date of December 31, 2031, if no such appropriation occurs.
