Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires, before a resident of a nursing home or community-based
residential facility (CBRF) is required to be relocated, that the nursing home or
CBRF provide 90 days' written notice to a resident, to the resident's guardian, if any,
and to a member of the resident's family, if practicable, unless the resident requests
that notice to the family be withheld. Under current law, a nursing home or CBRF
must provide only 30 days' written notice prior to relocation to each resident who is
to be relocated. The bill also requires that when terminating a contract with a
provider that is a nursing home or CBRF, a care management organization must
similarly provide at least 90 days' written notice of the termination to the provider
and to the resident, to the resident's guardian, if any, and to a member of the

resident's family, if practicable, unless the resident requests that notice to the family
be withheld.
