AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 16 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO LONG TERM CARE FACILITIES

Summary

The bill mandates that nursing homes, assisted‑living facilities, and group homes for people with mental illness maintain at least $1 million per claim and $3 million aggregate coverage for both general and professional liability, including abuse and molestation coverage. Facilities must provide proof of this insurance to the state when they first receive a license and each time they renew, and insurers must notify the state within 14 days of any lapse or cancellation. Failure to meet the requirement can result in revocation of the facility’s license.
