Bill > SB00288

This bill modifies existing laws concerning nursing homes to allow for the creation of additional nursing home beds under specific circumstances, particularly in areas with identified needs and for facilities that adopt innovative, small-house designs. It also mandates that licensed nursing homes must submit resident data promptly to the Commissioner of Social Services to ensure accurate calculation of reimbursement rates, which are the amounts paid to facilities for providing care. Furthermore, the bill allows the Commissioner to exclude costs associated with "related parties" – individuals or entities with a close connection to the nursing home's ownership or management – when determining a facility's operational costs and reimbursement rates, preventing potential manipulation of costs by those with insider connections.
