SB333

SB333 amends Delaware Code to mandate insurance coverage for long-term care facilities and requires notification of coverage lapses.

SB333 amends Title 16 of the Delaware Code to establish insurance requirements for long-term care facilities. It defines a covered long-term care facility as a nursing facility, assisted living facility, or group home for persons with mental illness. These facilities must maintain insurance coverage of at least $1 million per claim and $3 million in the aggregate for general and professional liability, respectively, including abuse and molestation coverage. Facilities must provide proof of this insurance when applying for or renewing their license or certification.
