An Act relative to transparent name changes in nursing facilities

This bill requires skilled nursing facilities and assisted living residences to transfer a facility's previous safety records (including disciplinary history) to its new name when changing names, regardless of ownership changes. The state department must list both the old and new names along with safety records on its official website, and facilities must post this information on their own websites and social media. Failure to comply with these transparency requirements may result in penalties enforced by the department. The law directly affects nursing facilities that change their names, ensuring public access to historical safety data.
