After lawmakers scaled back a California nursing homes licensing bill, critics said it would let the worst operators thrive, but other advocates insisted it was still a step in the right direction.
Democratic Assemblymembers Al Muratsuchi of Los Angeles and Jim Wood of Santa Rosa, the bill’s co-authors, said Tuesday that they intend to move the bill forward, despite the new opposition from its sponsors.
Getting it this far has been a political battle, involving emotional hearings and strategic alliances.indecision, confusion and yearslong delays The original language of the bill would have established strict suitability standards, including 10-year history checks for new owners, a public process for vetting them, and annual reports to the Legislature by the Department of Public Health.The amended language takes out some of these provisions, has shorter history checks, and institutes smaller discretionary financial penalties in lieu of more significant ones.
Muratsuchi said he’s trying to convince the advocacy organization that “even though it’s not exactly what we started with, that the essence and the substance of the original bill is, by and large, still in the amended version.”
