Relates to oversight of continuing care communities; repealer

S 8802 amends New York's public health law to update oversight of continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs), repealing outdated provisions. It clarifies the health commissioner's duties, including reviewing applications for new CCRCs, coordinating oversight across agencies to avoid duplication, and setting annual fees (up to $50 per living unit) for operators. The bill also establishes a Continuing Care Retirement Community Council, composed of health officials and public members with expertise in senior care, to advise on policies and conduct research. These changes directly affect CCRC operators, prospective operators, and residents by streamlining regulatory processes and enhancing oversight of these facilities.
