BILL NUMBER:S4684
TITLE OF BILL: An act authorizing the study of fees and charges
assessed to residents of assisted living facilities
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: The purpose of this bill is to
authorize a study that will review the rate of the fees and charges
being assessed to residents of assisted living facilities Such study
shall make recommendations to limit the increase of such fees and
charges
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: None.
JUSTIFICATION: Residents of these assisted living facilities should
not have to worry about affording their stay in these facilities as a
result of fees and charges, such as their rent, increasing a
substantial amount over time. Most of the people that move into these
homes are single and they budget their expenditures according to a
particular amount of rent for a certain amount of years. When these
residents find that the increases have changed their financial plans
to the point where they can no longer afford their stay, they are left
with few to no options. This new legislation will provide much needed
information to help those residents better plan for financial
security.
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New bill.
