Summary

HB554 would add new licensing fees for assisted living administrators (replacement card, annual admin fee, and reapplication fee for expired licenses) and expand the licensing board's ability to discipline licensees for certain criminal offenses.

What This Bill Does

It creates a replacement license fee for lost or stolen licensing cards. It requires every applicant for licensure as an assisted living administrator to pay an annual administrative fee set by the board. It requires individuals with expired licenses to follow the licensure process again and pay a reapplication fee. It allows the board to discipline someone who pleads or is found guilty of certain crimes, including lewd or lascivious acts against a child or adult, inappropriate sexual conduct, or any crime with potential imprisonment over one year.

Who It Affects

• Applicants for licensure as assisted living administrators would owe an annual administrative fee determined by the board.
• People who hold or had held an assisted living administrator license (including those with expired licenses) would face a reapplication process and the associated reapplication fee, and could be disciplined for specified criminal conduct.

Key Provisions

• Require every applicant for licensure as an assisted living administrator to pay an annual administrative fee as determined by the board.
