House Bill 483, the Mid-Biennium Review bill, requires skilled nursing and assisted living centers to screen admissions for sex offenders. This law takes effect September 15. For each new admission, a center must check the online sex offender registry maintained by the Attorney General. The statute specifies that the responsibility of the facility’s administrator. If the individual is listed on the registry and the center decides to admit them anyway (the statute does not require admission), the center must take certain steps: developing a plan of care for the sex offender that protects patients and residents: notify all other center residents and their sponsors that the sex offender has been admitted and the protective measures the center is employing: and direct the sex offenders to update their address in the registry (assisting them if needed). These requirements do not apply to existing patients, only those admitted on or after 9/15/14.
