2003 Senate Bill 635 ↩

House Roll Call 168: Passed

To allow homes for the aged to admit an individual less than 60 years of age if doing so is in the best interests of the individual. Under current law, an individual less than 60 years of age may not be admitted to a licensed home for the aged. The bill requires documentation to be submitted to the Department of Community Health which substantiates that the various interested parties are in agreement on letting the person into the home, and requires the department to issue a waiver before the admission is allowed.
