Relates to oversight of continuing care communities; repealer
This bill amends New York's public health law to streamline oversight of continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs). It clarifies the commissioner's authority to review applications, issue permits, coordinate agency inspections, and establish annual fees for operators (up to $50 per living unit), while reducing duplication in regulatory processes. The bill also establishes a new Continuing Care Retirement Community Council, composed of state officials and public members (including senior advocates and CCRC residents), to advise the commissioner on policy and development. These changes directly affect CCRC operators, prospective residents, and state agencies responsible for oversight.
