AN ACT ESTABLISHING A UNIFORM STATE LICENSING PROCESS FOR PRIVATE COMMUNITY-BASED PROVIDERS.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened:
Section 1. (Effective from passage) The Nonprofit Liaison to the Governor, in consultation with the Commissioners of Public Health, Developmental Services, Social Services and Mental Health and Addiction Services, or said commissioners' designees, and representatives of community-based providers selected by the Nonprofit Liaison to the Governor, shall study the feasibility of establishing a uniform state licensing process for community-based providers. Such study shall minimally examine whether a community-based provider may be allowed to obtain a single state license that permits the provider to offer services for the benefit of multiple state agencies without requiring such provider to obtain separate licensure from each state agency for which services are offered. On or before January 1, 2012, the Nonprofit Liaison to the Governor shall report, in accordance with the provisions of section 11-4a of the general statutes, to the joint standing committees of the General Assembly having cognizance of matters relating to public health and human services on the feasibility of establishing a uniform licensing process for community-based providers. The Nonprofit Liaison to the Governor may include any recommendations for legislative action that the liaison believes are necessary for the establishment of a uniform licensing process for community-based providers.
