NURSING HOMES: Provides for an extension to the moratorium for nursing facilities. (8/1/26)

SB 31 extends the pause on building new nursing facilities and adding beds to existing ones in Louisiana until July 1, 2032. This directly affects nursing home operators, developers, and communities seeking new or expanded long-term care capacity. The bill amends Louisiana law to change the moratorium end date from 2027 to 2032, maintaining the current restriction on new facilities and bed additions. The extension applies statewide and has no specified exceptions in the provided text. The bill is currently pending referral to the Health and Welfare Committee.
