NURSING HOMES: Provides for alternative power sources at nursing facilities

Removed the 'ENROLLED' status, Governor's approval signature, and Speaker of the House signature, reverting the document to its original draft state.

Removed page numbering references (e.g., 'Page 4 of 4') and the full text of the legislative digest.

Adjusted the header information to reflect 'HLS 26RS-2700 ORIGINAL' instead of the enrolled bill number, and changed the page count from 4 to 2.

A new rebate program was created to reimburse nursing facilities for costs of installing solar energy systems placed into service on or after January 1, 2026.

A total funding cap of two million dollars was established for the rebate program, which terminates on January 1, 2029.

New statutory definitions were added for 'Alternative electrical power source,' 'Department,' 'Eligible costs,' and 'Nursing facility' to clarify the program's parameters.

Specific documentation requirements were added, including an itemized list of costs and a sworn statement from the contractor certifying system sufficiency.

The new rebate chapter became effective on August 1, 2026, while the solar system installation requirement effective date was set for January 1, 2027.

Formatting and header information were updated to reflect the bill's final enrolled status, including page count changes and the removal of legislative digest text.
