MINOR
The bill was converted from a House substitute amendment to a chaptered act, finalizing the legislative process. The substantive content of the law remains largely the same, with minor formatting adjustments to the text layout and a specific addition requiring corrective action before appeals of provisional licenses for assisted living facilities or adult day centers.
TECHNICAL
The bill text was reformatted from a House substitute version to a chaptered act version, updating session headers and approval dates.
REQUIREMENT
Added a requirement that applicants for provisional licenses at assisted living facilities or adult day centers must complete corrective action acceptable to the Commissioner before they can appeal the provisional license decision.
Removed the previous exemption stating that provisional license issuance for assisted living facilities or adult day centers was not subject to judicial review under the Administrative Process Act.
