California SB582 provides guidelines for health and care facilities to maintain licensing during emergencies or disasters.

California SB582 amends the Health and Safety Code to establish procedures for health and care facilities to maintain licensing during emergencies or disasters. The bill allows facilities to request inactive license status if they are nonoperational due to destruction, significant damage, or prolonged closure from an emergency or disaster. Facilities must submit a written request to the department for review and approval. The department may impose time limitations on inactive license status and identify situations where it is not permitted.
