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 state Attorney General to create new regulations that prevent unfair or deceptive practices against these residents, treating any violations of these rules as breaches of consumer protection laws. The legislation also updates existing statutes to explicitly include assisted living residences under specific legal chapters and mandates that these new regulations be finalized within one year of the bill's passage.
