Creates a temporary state commission to study and investigate the effects of closures of long term care facilities
S 6512 creates a temporary commission to study the effects of closing long-term care facilities on residents (including health disruptions and community loss) and families (such as relocation challenges and document transfers). The commission will also assess current closure laws, placement availability for those needing skilled nursing care or dementia support, and evaluate the feasibility of local relocations. It must submit recommendations for new regulations or legislation within one year to improve closure processes and protect residents, with 11 members appointed by the governor and legislative leaders. The commission will not receive compensation and may hold hearings to gather input from stakeholders.
