  • Title 36, chapter 4, article 6

    Section 36-446.15. Placement and referral agents; requirements; agent of record; definitions A. An agent may not receive more than one move‑in fee per resident at any time without documentation from the resident's primary care practitioner stating a change in the resident's level of care. B. A person or the person's power of attorney has the right to name an agent as the person's agent of record with an assisted living facility or nursing care institution and may change the agent of record at any time. C. A person may opt out of an agent's service at any time if the person is not satisfied with the agent's service. If a person opts out of an agent's service, an assisted living facility or nursing care institution has no obligation to pay the agent's commission. D. An agent must visit an assisted living facility or nursing care institution in person before contracting with the facility or institution or referring any potential residents to that facility or institution. The agent shall visit each contracted facility or institution in person each year and before making any referral if there has been a change in ownership since the last time the agent made a referral. E. For the purposes of this section: 1. "Agent" means a placement and referral agent. 2. "Agent of record" means the agent that a person recognizes as the person's agent of choice. 3. "Opt out" means a person ends all relationships with an agent, including the agent recalling all referrals from assisted living facilities and nursing care institutions.

    This addition creates specific regulations regarding the fees agents can charge, the rights of individuals to name and change agents, and the obligations of agents to visit facilities.
