Bill > SB4013

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 establishment or facility licensed under these acts must provide notice of closure not only to the Department and affected residents and their families, but also to the Office of the State Long Term Care Ombudsman, which is an independent agency that advocates for residents in long-term care facilities. This change ensures that the Ombudsman is informed when residents may need assistance finding new housing, thereby strengthening protections for vulnerable individuals in long-term care settings.
