Summary of Legislation
Under current law, life care institutions charge a one-time fee for lifetime access to services in a
residential facility and are regulated by the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA). The bill
allows these institutions to provide limited services in a community setting or in a private
residence, places disclosure requirements on these service contracts, and specifies when they
may be canceled and refunded.
State Expenditures
DORA currently regulates the six life care institutions that operate in Colorado. Workload will
increase to regulate their community-based services in accordance with the bill. Given the
limited number of such life care institutions, the work is expected to be minimal.
Effective Date
The bill takes effect 90 days following adjournment of the General Assembly sine die, assuming
no referendum petition is filed.
