Introduction → 1st Engrossment · 5 edits · Apr 21, 2026

MODERATE

The bill was updated from its initial introduction to its first engrossment version, reflecting a revision in the legislative process. The most significant substantive change is the removal of the full text of the bill, which included new definitions for 'health care providers' and 'patient services,' as well as specific requirements for assisted living facilities to provide 24/7 assistance request mechanisms. These substantive sections were deleted, while the document structure was updated to reflect the new version number and posting date.

Scope change

The bill's substantive scope was effectively removed or redacted in this version, as the core text defining health care provider status and assisted living facility requirements was deleted. The document now primarily serves as a placeholder or structural update rather than containing the active legislative text.

REQUIREMENT

Deleted the requirement for assisted living facilities to provide a means for residents to request assistance 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including an exception for residents with cognitive impairments.

DEFINITION

Removed the definition of 'health care provider' and 'patient services,' which previously listed specific entities and services subject to certain regulations.

Removed the definition of 'party' regarding who may be awarded fees and expenses in legal proceedings, including the revenue threshold change from $7 million to $13.5 million.

TECHNICAL

Updated the document title from 'Introduction' to '1st Engrossment' and changed the posting date from April 20, 2026, to May 4, 2026.

Added numerous new section numbers (e.g., 1.24 through 1.38, 3.30 through 3.33) that appear to be placeholders or formatting artifacts rather than substantive content.
