Location requirements for assisted living facilities with a licensed resident capacity of six or fewer persons and licensed residential programs modified, commissioners allowed to delegate authority, and various notification requirements modified.

Summary

The bill requires that assisted‑living homes with six or fewer residents be at least 650 feet from another similar facility or licensed residential program, unless specific exceptions apply. It also adds a 30‑day notice to the local municipality before issuing a provisional or full license and lets the health commissioner delegate inspection authority to county or local agencies. The changes aim to improve oversight and community awareness of small care homes.
