Nursing homes; require to purchase and maintain a minimum amount of liability insurance.
HB 756 requires nursing home operators in Mississippi to maintain $1 million in liability insurance per resident for negligence, covering facilities like nursing homes, assisted living centers, hospice care, and long-term care providers. It mandates written disclosure of insurance coverage to patients before care contracts are signed and requires facilities to display this information prominently. The law also requires proof of insurance for licensing and allows the State Department of Health to suspend licenses for noncompliance. The bill amends existing licensing laws to include this insurance requirement as a condition for operating or renewing a facility license.
