An Act protecting the rights of assisted living residents

This bill aims to strengthen the legal protections for residents of assisted living facilities in Massachusetts. It requires the Attorney General to create new regulations that safeguard consumer rights against unfair or deceptive practices within these residences. Additionally, the bill mandates that any violations of these new rules will be treated as violations of Chapter 93A, which covers unfair business practices. The legislation also specifies that these regulations must be finalized and issued within one year of the bill becoming law.
