AI Summary
This bill amends the Nursing Home Care Act to expand the information that the Department of Public Health must include in its annual report on nursing home survey activity. In addition to the existing details about complaints received and investigated, the report will now also specify the total number of authorized nursing home surveyor positions, the number of filled and vacant surveyor positions, the average tenure of current surveyors, and any other relevant data concerning the recruitment, retention, or workload of these surveyors. This aims to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the state's nursing home oversight capabilities.
