Licensure of a facility; interviews with residents or participants.

This bill also sets forth inspection requirements for assisted living facilities, and provides that an incident report filed by an assisted living facility, pursuant to regulations adopted by the Board, for any major incident that negatively affects or threatens the life, health, safety or welfare of any resident of the facility shall not be considered a complaint, but may trigger an investigation including an onsite visit if the Commissioner finds an investigation is necessary.
