Bill summary

Senate amendment makes the following changes to 4th edition. Deletes nonpayment as a reason for discharge of a resident while an appeal to the Hearing Unit is pending. Clarifies that while, under the act, the Department may not prohibit discharge during an appeal simply for the reason that the Hearing Unit has determined that the discharge destination identified is not appropriate, the requirements in the act for agencies to work to identify an appropriate destination continue to apply.
