Summary
Existing law provides for the licensure and regulation of health facilities, as defined. A violation of those provisions is a crime. Existing law requires any person or government entity desiring a license for a health facility, approval for a special service, or approval to manage a health facility currently licensed as a general acute care hospital, acute psychiatric hospital, skilled nursing facility, intermediate care facility, or special hospital, that has not filed an application for a license to operate that facility, to file with the department a verified application containing specific information. This bill would require the denial of an application under those provisions if the applicant fails to provide the requisite information or provide it in the form requested. Existing law requires each applicant for a license to operate a skilled nursing facility or intermediate care facility to make certain disclosures regarding corporate governance and ownership to the State Department of Public Health. Existing law prohibits certain persons, as defined, from governing or owning a beneficial interest of 5% or more of a skilled nursing facility or intermediate care facility, as specified, without approval of the department. This bill would expand those disclosure requirements and the provisions that prohibit certain persons from governing or owning a beneficial interest in a skilled nursing facility or intermediate care facility, as specified. The bill would establish provisions for the denial of an application under circumstances in which a person named in an application has governed or owned a facility that has violated the law during a certain timeframe, as specified, and would require the department to investigate whether an applicant has been subject to professional discipline. Existing law requires the department to implement a consumer information service system regarding long-term care facilities. This bill would revise the information the system is required to contain and would require it to be available on the Internet by March 1, 2017. Because this bill would require additional disclosures, of which a failure to disclose or a false disclosure would be a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
