The act establishes information disclosure requirements for a licensed facility that offers on-site and residential services for individuals with dementia and dementia-related conditions, including Alzheimer's disease ('dementia care facility' or 'facility'). The act requires the department of public health and environment (department), in consultation with the state long-term care ombudsman or the ombudsman's designee, to create a dementia care services information form (form) by July 1, 2027. The form must include certain specified fields for the disclosure of information regarding a dementia care facility's dementia care services, including the facility's: Dementia training requirements for staff that are in addition to statutory training requirements; Guidelines for using restraints; Security features and procedures for addressing the needs of residents with dementia; and Criteria and processes to determine placement, transfer, or discharge of residents living with dementia. The department may review and update the form to ensure that it facilitates the disclosure of the required information. After creating or updating the form, the department must provide the form to every dementia care facility in the state. A dementia care facility must complete the form with responsive, accurate, and complete information regarding the facility's dementia care services. Beginning October 1, 2027, every dementia care facility shall: Provide its completed form to every individual who contacts the facility seeking dementia care services; Review and update the form when the facility's information changes to ensure the information on the form is current, complete, and correct; Publish the facility's current completed form on the facility's website; and Maintain on the facility's premises and have available for inspection a copy of the facility's current completed form, and produce the form upon request by the department during a survey or inspection of the facility. The act requires the department to issue a citation to a facility that fails to maintain on its premises and have available for inspection its completed form or that fails to produce the form upon request by the department during a survey or inspection. The department may adopt rules, as necessary, to implement the act's requirements concerning the form; except that the rules adopted by the department must not exceed applicable national standards. The department may use money from the assisted living residence improvement cash fund for the purposes of creating the form and adopting related rules. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)

What it covers: the record exactly as the official source publishes it — its identifiers (bill number, session, jurisdiction), its official title and long title, its official summary, its status, its sponsors in published order, every recorded action, every recorded vote, and the link to each official text version — assembled in a fixed canonical form described on the How this data works page.
The fingerprint does not cover our retrieval date (the “Data as of” stamp in the source line): re-fetching unchanged official content produces the same fingerprint, while any change to the official content changes it.
If you recompute the fingerprint from the official source and get a different value, one of us is out of date — please report it through the corrections log.
