Nursing home administrators.
SF 23 amends Wyoming’s nursing home administrator licensure laws to enhance oversight and safety standards. It requires criminal background checks for all applicants (via fingerprinting under W.S. 7-19-201), removes the ex officio health director position from the licensing board, and clarifies board membership to include specific professional backgrounds (e.g., licensed nurses, consumer representatives, nursing home operators). The bill authorizes the board to establish continuing education requirements for license renewal and sets July 1, 2022, as the effective date for most provisions. These changes directly affect nursing home administrators seeking or renewing their licenses in Wyoming.
