Summary

Stop CMS nursing home staffing and reporting rule
If enacted, this bill would bar HHS from enforcing a CMS rule issued May 10, 2024 (89 Fed. Reg. 40876). That rule sets minimum staffing in nursing homes and adds Medicaid payment transparency reporting. The ban would also block any substantially similar rule, starting on the date of enactment. Nursing home operators would avoid new staffing and reporting costs. Residents could have fewer guaranteed staff and less spending transparency.
