Bill > SF4476

This bill modifies who can be awarded fees and expenses in certain legal proceedings involving the state, specifically by increasing the revenue threshold for small businesses and organizations to be considered a "party" eligible for such awards from $7,000,000 to $13,500,000 in annual revenues. It also makes changes to assisted living facilities, requiring them to provide residents with a means to request assistance for health and safety needs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, though an exception is created for residents with moderate to severe cognitive impairment who cannot reliably use an alerting device, as determined by a nursing assessment. Furthermore, the bill exempts assisted living facilities from the health care provider tax, which is a tax on certain health care services and goods.
