HOMES FOR AGED LICENSE FEES S.B. 570:

SUMMARY OF DISCHARGED BILL

Senate Bill 570 (as discharged)

Sponsor: Senator Sarah Anthony

Committee: Appropriations (discharged)

CONTENT

The bill would amend the Public Health Code to allow the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs to impose a $2,000 fee to review a submitted attestation for exemption from licensure as a home for the aged.

The Code exempts an existing facility or facility under construction from licensure as a home for the aged if certain conditions are met. The Department also must make determinations regarding exemptions.

The bill would require the Department to charge a $2,000 fee to review a submitted attestation for exemption.

The bill also would allow the Department, at the beginning of each State fiscal year, to increase the fee by a percentage amount up to the average percentage wage and salary increase granted for that fiscal year to classified civil service employees employed by the Department. If the Department increased the fee, the increase would be effective for that fiscal year. The Department would have to use the increased fee as the basis for calculating fee increases in subsequent fiscal years.

By August 1 of each year, the Department would have to provide to the Director of the Department of Technology, Management, and Budget and the chairpersons of the Senate and House Appropriations Committees a complete schedule of the fees to be collected under the bill for the following fiscal year.

FISCAL IMPACT

The bill would have a positive fiscal impact on State government and no fiscal impact on local government. The total impact is indeterminate and would depend on the fee increase, which the Department would determine.
