Plain-language change summary

The bill SB 947 has been updated to clarify how the Nursing Facilities Quality of Care Fee is calculated for licensed nursing facilities in Oklahoma. It specifies that the fee will be based on six percent of the total annual patient gross receipts divided by the total number of patient days. This change aims to ensure a fair assessment of fees, ultimately helping to improve the quality of care in nursing facilities throughout the state. It also maintains the exemption for facilities operated by the Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs.
