MINOR

The bill was amended to remove the requirement that nursing homes must declare a disaster emergency before implementing temporary body storage plans. The amendment also renumbered the list items in the storage plan requirements, shifting the numbering from (i) to (ii) and adding a new (iii) item. These changes streamline the process by allowing nursing homes to prepare storage plans without waiting for a formal disaster declaration.

Scope change

The bill's applicability was broadened by removing the prerequisite that a disaster emergency must be declared by the governor before nursing homes must develop temporary body storage plans.

REQUIREMENT

Removed the requirement that a disaster emergency declaration must occur before nursing homes must develop temporary body storage plans.

Modified the triggering condition for the storage plan requirement by removing the phrase 'that a disaster has occurred or may be imminent' from the declaration language.

TECHNICAL

Reordered and renumbered the list items in the storage plan requirements, changing the structure from items (i), (ii), (iii) to items (i), (ii), (iii) with different content ordering.
