Abstract: Extends the moratorium on licensure of level 4 adult residential care providers
to July 1, 2023.
Present law establishes a moratorium on licensure of new level 4 adult residential care
providers, known commonly as "assisted living facilities", until July 1, 2017. Proposed law
extends the moratorium until July 1, 2023.
Present law (Act No. 417 of the 2017 R.S., Section 2) provides that an extension of the
moratorium until July 1, 2018 will become effective in the event a specific appropriation by
the legislature is made for such purposes and the program receives approval by the Centers
for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Proposed law repeals present law.
(Amends 40:R.S. 2166.7.1; Repeals §2 of Act No. 417 of the 2017 R.S.)
