SB1477

Arizona SB1477 regulates assisted living referral agencies, requiring disclosures, maintaining records, and setting insurance requirements.

Arizona SB1477 amends assisted living facility regulations by requiring referral agencies to disclose their business relationships and fees to prospective residents. Referral agencies must request acknowledgment of this disclosure and maintain records of it for a year. Facilities cannot pay referral fees until they receive the disclosure and acknowledgment. Referral agencies must also obtain specific insurance coverage and notify facilities of resident admissions. The bill outlines penalties for non-compliance and defines key terms.
