Bill > SB00123

This bill requires assisted living services agencies to hold a public informational hearing if they plan to increase a fee by more than ten percent of the previous fee, with this hearing needing to occur no later than thirty days before the increase takes effect and offering an opportunity for public commentary. This change is being made to an existing law, section 19a-564(e) of the general statutes, and will be effective October 1, 2026. The bill also maintains existing requirements for agencies to ensure clients understand services and costs, disclose fee increases sixty days in advance, and provide a history of fee increases upon request, while also clarifying that agencies can immediately adjust fees if a change in the level of care or services is necessary due to a resident's safety needs or change in condition.
