An Act clarifying the classification of assisted living residences

This bill clarifies that assisted living residences in Massachusetts are not subject to standard landlord-tenant laws, ensuring they remain distinct from typical rental properties. It achieves this by amending existing state statutes to explicitly exempt these facilities from relevant chapters of the General Laws, with specific exceptions outlined in the legislation. The change applies to all assisted living residences currently certified under the state's regulatory framework and takes effect retroactively to January 15, 1995.
