What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the governor to direct $150,000,000 from the moneys received

under the federal American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 for the Department of Health

Services to distribute to nursing homes and assisted living facilities that apply to

DHS for a onetime payment. The payment may be used for purposes including

capital projects and for integration into the statewide health information exchange

system. The bill defines assisted living facilities to be community-based residential

facilities, adult family homes, and residential care apartment complexes. To receive

a payment, the nursing home or assisted living facility must ensure that no less than

50 percent of the payment provides bonuses to employees subject to limitations that

ARPA has on payments to individuals.
