Plain-language change summary

The updated version of SB 2913 adds a new section that requires long-term care providers to inform the Department about changes in a resident's status, such as death or discharge, within specific timeframes. The bill specifies deadlines for reporting these changes—15 days for deaths and discharges, and 45 days for changes in income or third-party liability. This is important because it ensures timely and accurate updates to resident information, which can improve oversight and care management in long-term care settings.
