Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend and reenact R.S. 40:2116.1(B)(1), relative to the moratorium on nursing facilities; to provide for a termination date; and to provide for related matters.
AI Summary
This bill extends the moratorium, which is a temporary suspension of new nursing facilities or additional beds for existing ones, from its current expiration date of July 1, 2027, to July 1, 2031. In addition to this extension, the bill mandates that the Department of Health will collect and analyze data to determine if the moratorium is still necessary, specifically looking at avoidable skilled nursing days in hospitals and the occupancy rates in nursing facilities, including reasons for refusing eligible patients. A system to track this information will be established by November 30, 2026, with data collection beginning January 1, 2027, and monthly reports submitted to legislative committees and a research library starting February 15, 2027.
