Relates to prohibiting former assisted living residences from becoming migrant shelters

This bill, known as the "Island Shores law," prevents former operators of assisted living facilities from converting those properties into shelters for asylum seekers. It achieves this by prohibiting state health and social services departments from approving or funding such conversions once an operator notifies officials of their intent to close the assisted living residence. The law specifically defines an asylum seeker as someone who has applied for asylum or is eligible to apply under federal immigration laws. By blocking these specific transitions, the legislation aims to ensure that closed assisted living homes do not immediately become housing for individuals seeking protection from abroad.
