Summary

HB673 would change how assisted living administrators are licensed by adding fees, requiring reapplication for expired licenses, and strengthening disciplinary rules.

What This Bill Does

It adds a replacement license fee for lost, stolen, or misplaced licensing cards. It requires licensure applicants to pay an annual administrative fee set by the board. It requires anyone with an expired license to reapply for licensure and pay a reapplication fee. It expands the board's power to discipline licensees who plead nolo contendere, or are guilty of lewd or lascivious acts against a child or adult, inappropriate sexual conduct, or other crimes that could involve imprisonment for more than one year.

Who It Affects

• Assisted living administrators and licensure applicants (current, new, and those with expired licenses) who would pay new fees, follow renewal and continuing education requirements, and face new discipline rules.
• Assisted living facilities and regulatory bodies (Board of Examiners of Assisted Living Administrators and the State Board of Health) that oversee licensing, emergency provisions, records, reciprocity, and enforcement.

Key Provisions

• Replacement license fee for the replacement of a lost, stolen, or misplaced licensing card.
• Annual administrative fee required for each licensure applicant, as determined by the board.
• Reapplication fee required when renewing an expired license, with procedures for new licensure.
• Expanded disciplinary grounds for licensees, including pleas of nolo contendere and certain crimes involving lewd or inappropriate conduct or crimes with imprisonment over one year.
• Reciprocity and exemptions provisions allowing licenses from other states or national organizations to be recognized, and special provisions for nursing home or hospital administrators seeking AL administrator licensure, including related ongoing fees and education requirements.
