OLR Bill Analysis
SB 1175
AN ACT CONCERNING PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR CERTAIN RATE
INCREASES AT ASSISTED LIVING FACILITIES.
SUMMARY
This bill requires assisted living service agencies (ALSAs) to hold a
public hearing if any existing fee increases by 10% or more. The hearing
must take place at least 30 days before the increase takes effect. The
hearing must provide an opportunity for commentary by residents,
their representatives or family members, members of the press, or
anyone else.
Under existing law, ALSAs must disclose fee increases to residents or
their representatives at least 60 days before they take effect. But ALSAs
may immediately adjusts fees if (1) they are directly related to a change
in the level of care or services necessary to meet the resident’s safety
needs at the time of a scheduled resident care meeting or (2) the
resident’s condition changes, resulting in a required change in service.
