HB 18-1294

HB 18-1294 is a Colorado bill that extends for five more years the regulation of nursing home administrators by a specific board. This means that nursing home administrators will continue to be overseen and licensed by this board until September 1, 2023. The bill also requires these administrators to report any felony behavior they observe from their employees to law enforcement and relevant licensing boards, with consequences if they fail to do so. Since the status of the bill is "signed," it has been approved and is now law.

Official Summary

Sunset Process - House Health, Insurance, and Environment Committee. The bill partially implements the recommendations of the department of regulatory agencies, as contained in the department's sunset review of nursing home administrators by continuing the regulation of nursing home administrators by the board of examiners of nursing home administrators in the division of professions and occupations for 5 years, until September 1, 2023. The bill requires the board of examiners of nursing home administrators to record by board member each vote imposing discipline or dismissing a complaint. The bill requires a nursing home administrator to report to law enforcement possible felony conduct by an employee. If the employee holds a state license, the administrator must also report the conduct to the appropriate occupational board or the director of the division of professions and occupations. Failure to report is grounds for discipline. (Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.) , Read More
