Gifts Grants & Donations for Nursing Facilities

Summary

The bill lets the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing accept gifts, grants, and donations to develop and fund a new reimbursement model for nursing facilities that care for residents with behavioral health needs. It requires the department to report how the money is used to the Joint Budget Committee and makes clear that these private funds do not count as state spending or reduce existing state appropriations. The measure becomes law after a 90‑day waiting period unless a referendum forces a voter decision in November 2026.
