AN ACT CONCERNING THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES' RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING EXCEPTIONS TO THE NURSING HOME BED MORATORIUM, NURSING HOME RESIDENT DATA AND NURSING HOME REIMBURSEMENT RATE CAPS FOR RELATED PARTY EMPLOYEES.

Summary

The bill tells the Department of Social Services to reject most requests for additional nursing‑home beds, allowing only a few special cases such as AIDS or neurological rehab patients, continuing‑care facilities not using Medicaid, and carefully planned relocations or small‑house style homes. It also creates a checklist the commissioner must use when deciding whether to approve, modify, or deny any bed‑related request. The changes aim to control bed growth, protect Medicaid resources, and encourage innovative, community‑focused nursing‑home models.
