AI Summary
This bill allows the Commissioner of Veterans Affairs to close a veterans home if it receives an involuntary termination notice from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), a federal agency that sets standards for healthcare facilities. Previously, a veterans home could only be closed if specifically authorized or required by a law passed after July 1, 2015. Under this new provision, before closing, the Commissioner must ensure all residents are safely transferred, relocated, or discharged to an appropriate setting, and must notify the governor and legislative committees with jurisdiction over veterans affairs.
