AB162,,22An Act to amend 50.03 (14) (c) 1.; and to create 46.284 (4) (km) of the statutes; relating to: notification of certain facility closures, change in type or level of services or means of reimbursement accepted, and care management organization notification of contract termination with a provider that is a nursing home or community-based residential facility. AB162,,33Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau This bill requires, before a resident of a nursing home or community-based residential facility (CBRF) is required to be relocated, that the nursing home or CBRF provide 90 days’ written notice to a resident, to the resident’s guardian, if any, and to a member of the resident’s family, if practicable, unless the resident requests that notice to the family be withheld. Under current law, a nursing home or CBRF must provide only 30 days’ written notice prior to relocation to each resident who is to be relocated. The bill also requires that when terminating a contract with a provider that is a nursing home or CBRF, a care management organization must similarly provide at least 90 days’ written notice of the termination to the provider and to the resident, to the resident’s guardian, if any, and to a member of the resident’s family, if practicable, unless the resident requests that notice to the family be withheld.
