Office of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman - Mandatory Appropriation

Summary

The bill mandates that, beginning fiscal year 2027, the governor set aside a minimum of 3% of the special fund collected from nursing‑facility quality assessments to fund the Office of the Long‑Term Care Ombudsman. The allocation must be added to any existing appropriations and cannot replace other funding for the office. This ensures a dedicated revenue stream for ombudsman activities that protect residents of long‑term care facilities.
