Hospice; specifying certain penalties; defining term. Effective date.

Removed the original Senate title page, bill number, and introductory act header.

Added page numbers and a note indicating that bold face text denotes committee amendments.

Reformatted the layout and line breaks to match the House floor version style.

The bill title and header were updated from 'Engrossed' to 'Enrolled,' reflecting its final status after passing both the Senate and House.

The list of sponsors was slightly altered to include 'Waldron' alongside Coleman and Roe, likely reflecting a final co-sponsorship or correction before final passage.

The section regarding hospice solicitation and advertising was restructured. The original text was split into multiple paragraphs; the final version consolidates these into a single, clearly numbered paragraph (Section 1-860.4, Subsection A, Paragraph 11, Subparagraph c) to improve readability and legal clarity.

Minor formatting and punctuation adjustments were made throughout the text, such as standardizing the use of parentheses and ensuring consistent indentation.

The definition of prohibited solicitation was expanded to specifically ban contacting patients who are already enrolled in a different hospice.

New provisions were added to clarify that standard advertising and marketing payments are permitted if they are set in advance, reflect fair market value, and are not based on the volume of patient referrals.
