AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 16 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO LONG TERM CARE FACILITIES
What changed between versions
The state-owned facility exemption (subsection f) that would have excluded long-term care facilities owned and operated by the State from all requirements of the Act was dropped in the final version.
Section 1102 defines 'covered long-term care facility' as a nursing facility, assisted living facility, or group home for persons with mental illness.
Section 1120(a) requires covered facilities to maintain minimum insurance of $1 million per claim/$3 million aggregate each for general liability and professional liability, plus abuse and molestation coverage.
Section 1120(d) requires insurance companies to notify the Department within 14 days of any lapse or cancellation of coverage for a covered facility.
Section 1120(e) provides that failure to maintain minimum insurance limits results in revocation of the facility's license.
The Act takes effect 180 days after enactment.
