HB 2463 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Creates provisions relating to referrals to independent living facilities and long-term care facilities

HB 2463 requires referral agencies that connect people with independent living or long-term care facilities to provide clear written disclosures to prospective residents or their representatives. These disclosures must detail any fees paid by the facility, relationships between the referral agency and facility, the right to cancel services without penalty, and how personal information may be shared. The bill also prohibits referral agencies from charging termination fees and bans facilities from paying referral fees until after the disclosure is provided and the resident moves in. Additionally, facilities cannot sell or transfer a prospective resident's contact information without written consent. This bill directly affects older adults seeking housing in these facilities, referral agencies, and the facilities themselves by increasing transparency and consumer protections.

MINOR
The bill was amended to clarify when referral fees are considered 'earned' by the agency, shifting the trigger from just admission to also including payment receipt. Additionally, the requirement for referral agencies to disclose specific details about services was relaxed, removing the mandate for a 'detailed description' in favor of a general description. Several procedural lines regarding the timing of fee payments and disclosure delivery were also reorganized.
REQUIREMENT

The definition of when referral fees are 'earned' was expanded to include the moment the facility makes payment, not just when the resident is admitted.

The disclosure requirement for referral agencies was simplified by removing the mandate for a 'detailed description' of services, changing it to a general description.

Procedural language regarding the timing of fee payments and the delivery of signed disclosures was restructured to align with the new 'earned' fee definition.
