The operator of an adult home, ENRICHED HOUSING PROGRAM or residence for adults shall have an affirmative duty to report any death, or attempted suicide of a resident to the department OF HEALTH within twenty-four hours of its occurrence, and shall also have an affirmative duty to report to an appropriate law enforcement authority if [it is believed that] THE OPERATOR DISCOVERS AN INCIDENT THAT THE OPERATOR BELIEVES OR REASONABLY SHOULD BELIEVE WOULD CONSTITUTE a felony crime [may have been committed] against a resident of such facility as soon as possible, or in any event within [forty- eight] TWENTY-FOUR hours. In addition, [the] ANY operator OF A FACILITY DEFINED IN SECTION FOUR HUNDRED EIGHTY-EIGHT OF THIS CHAPTER THAT IS SUBJECT TO THIS SECTION, shall, IN ADDITION, send any reports involving a resident who had at any time received services from a mental hygiene service provider to the justice center for the protection of people with special needs WITHIN TWENTY-FOUR HOURS OF THE OCCURRENCE OF THE DEATH OR ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OR OF THE DISCOVERY OF AN INCIDENT THAT THE OPERATOR BELIEVED OR REASONABLY SHOULD HAVE BELIEVED TO BE A FELONY CRIME. § 2. This act shall take effect on the sixtieth day after it shall have become a law; provided however, that the commissioner of health may adopt, amend, suspend or repeal any regulations or take other actions necessary to enforce or implement the law prior to and in preparation for the taking effect of the law; and provided further that such adoption, amendment, suspension or repeal of regulations shall not have legal effect until the law takes effect.
