What changed in the latest version
29 added · 39 removedPlain-language change summary
The amendment to Bill SB 1233 allows agencies to take disciplinary action against facilities only if they identify an administrative deficiency, but they must give the facility 72 hours to fix the issue first. Additionally, the definition of "administrative deficiency" clarifies that these are violations that do not physically or psychologically harm patients or residents. This change is significant because it provides more time for facilities to correct minor issues before facing penalties, promoting fairness and encouraging compliance.
