AN ACT CONCERNING EXCEPTIONS TO THE NURSING HOME BED MORATORIUM.

This bill creates exceptions to a temporary ban on new nursing home beds. It would allow specific nursing homes to add beds under defined circumstances, such as expanding existing facilities or serving underserved rural areas. The exceptions apply to facilities meeting certain criteria outlined in the legislation. This directly affects nursing homes seeking to increase capacity within the moratorium. The bill passed the House with amendments and is now under review in the Senate.
