The bill requires the Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing to review deficient practices by nursing facilities before issuing citations.

The bill mandates that the Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing (DIAL) establish a process to review each deficient practice identified by the department for which a citation may be issued to a nursing facility. This review allows representatives of the facility to provide context or evidence to DIAL prior to the issuance of a citation. The goal is to ensure consistent and accurate application of federal and state inspection protocols and defined regulatory standards.
