Bill > SB00193

This bill, effective October 1, 2026, amends Section 19a-490 of the general statutes to establish licensure for long-term acute care hospitals by adding a definition for this type of facility. A "long-term acute care hospital" is defined as a hospital that meets the definition of a long-term care hospital as outlined in Title 42 of the United States Code (42 USC 1395x), which is a federal law governing Medicare and Medicaid. This amendment clarifies and expands the existing definitions of various healthcare institutions that require licensure, ensuring that long-term acute care hospitals are formally recognized and regulated within the state's healthcare system.
