| IN RE: | HB850 by Brown, Betty (relating to professional health care liability insurance coverage information provided by a nursing home.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted |
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would add Section 242.0425. This section would require nursing facilities to provide each resident and the resident's next of kin or guardian a written statement on whether they are covered by professional health care liability insurance. A copy of the statement would need to be signed by the resident or the resident's next of kin or guardian and kept in the facility's records for that resident.
