SB 155

This bill requires, before a resident of a nursing home or community-based

residential facility (CBRF) is required to be relocated, that the nursing home or

CBRF provide 90 days' written notice to a resident, to the resident's guardian, if any,

and to a member of the resident's family, if practicable, unless the resident requests

that notice to the family be withheld. Under current law, a nursing home or CBRF

must provide only 30 days' written notice prior to relocation to each resident who is

to be relocated. The bill also requires that when terminating a contract with a

provider that is a nursing home or CBRF, a care management organization must

similarly provide at least 90 days' written notice of the termination to the provider

and to the resident, to the resident's guardian, if any, and to a member of the

resident's family, if practicable, unless the resident requests that notice to the family

be withheld.
