SB 673

Under current law, with few exceptions, contractual agreements that compel

parties to litigation to submit to arbitration to resolve all or part of the dispute

between the parties are enforceable.

Under this bill, contractual agreements that compel arbitration and that limit

the rights of a resident to bring a civil lawsuit or limit the remedies available to a

resident in a suit against a nursing home, adult family home, resident care

apartment complex, or community-based residential care facility are void as against

public policy.
