Assisted living facility closures, sales, and changes of use in Utah would face new requirements under this bill. If a facility intends to close, complete a sale that requires residents to move, or convert to a different use, it would need to submit a detailed transition plan to the state's Division of Licensing and Background Checks at least 120 days in advance, stop accepting new residents once that plan is filed, notify residents and their families at least 45 days before the change, help each resident find a new placement, refund prepaid fees, and could not finalize the closure or use change until all residents have been relocated to an appropriate setting. When a facility is sold but will continue operating as an assisted living facility, the new owner would have to notify residents within five days of the sale, could not raise their rates for at least 60 days, and must give 30 days' notice before any rate increase takes effect. New in this version, the bill would also allow a county attorney or the state attorney general to petition a court to appoint a receiver to take charge of a facility that fails to comply with these requirements.
