HB 813 North Carolina House · 2025-2026 Session

Enhanced Registration of Registered Residential Facilities.

HB 813 renames "multiunit assisted housing with services" as "registered residential facility" to clarify that these non-licensed residences are distinct from licensed adult care homes. It requires annual registration with the Department of Health and Human Services, mandates disclosure statements in rental contracts covering emergency systems and service costs, and prohibits these facilities from caring for residents needing ventilator support, 24-hour nursing care, or certain medical treatments without specific exceptions. The bill directly affects facilities currently operating under the old name and their residents, particularly those with complex medical needs. Key provisions include updated definitions, expanded restrictions on who can be served, and authorization for the Department to seek legal action against unregistered facilities.
