Modifies provisions relating to the abuse or neglect of vulnerable persons

Summary

The bill would make licensed long‑term care facilities keep at least one million dollars in liability insurance—or a separate one‑million‑dollar reserve—to cover abuse, neglect, or wrongful‑death claims. It also creates new rules for posting facility inspection results and an abuse‑neglect icon on the state health department website, and sets investigation and reporting procedures for alleged mistreatment. The changes aim to increase accountability and transparency for vulnerable residents.
