Bill Summary
Relative to the construction and reconstruction of rooms in licensed nursing facilities. Elder Affairs.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Massachusetts laws regarding the licensure of nursing facilities. It specifies that nursing facilities constructed on or before March 19, 1968 must comply with certain construction and equipment requirements, and that new or reconstructed facilities must limit resident rooms to no more than two residents, though the Department of Health is prohibited from enacting requirements more restrictive than federal regulations. The bill provides definitions for key terms like "approval of construction and reconstruction plans by the Commonwealth and local authorities."
