MINOR

The bill text was updated to reflect that the Senate committee has finished reviewing the legislation, discharged the bill from the committee, and sent it back for further amendment. Additionally, the penalty amounts for safety violations in adult care facilities were simplified and standardized to a maximum of one thousand dollars per day per violation, removing previous distinctions for repeat offenses and specific facility types.

Scope change

The bill's scope of applicability remains unchanged; it still applies to adult care facilities, excluding those operated by social services districts.

TIMELINE

Added procedural text indicating the bill was discharged from the Health Committee, amended, and recommitted for further work.

ENFORCEMENT

Simplified civil penalty amounts to a flat maximum of one thousand dollars per day per violation, removing the higher tier for repeat violations and the exception for social services district facilities.

TECHNICAL

Updated the bill number designation from S 1858 to S 1858--A and adjusted the legislative document identifier to reflect the new version.
