Purpose and Intent: The main goal of this bill is to enhance the regulation and oversight of assisted living programs in the state. The intent is to ensure that these residential care facilities are providing high-quality, safe, and appropriate services to their elderly and disabled residents.
Key Provisions:

- Mandates the implementation of comprehensive care planning and regular assessments for each resident
- Grants the state authority to impose fines and other penalties for assisted living programs that fail to meet quality standards
Affected Parties and Impacts:
- Elderly and disabled individuals residing in assisted living facilities would benefit from the improved quality of care and safety standards
- Assisted living program operators would need to adjust their staffing, training, and care planning processes to comply with the new regulations
- The state's DHHS would take on additional responsibilities for licensing, inspecting, and enforcing standards across the assisted living industry
Procedural and Timeline Considerations:

- If passed, the new assisted living regulations would need to be implemented by facilities within 12-24 months
