Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

New registration and fees for senior living referrers

Beginning October 1, 2025, senior living community referral agencies must register with the Division of Public and Behavioral Health. The application must list a U.S. physical address for records, other contact info, and proof of required liability insurance. You must pay an initial fee up to $2,708. The registration lasts two years. Renewal is up to $1,354. These agencies no longer need the State Board of Health license for referral businesses. The State Board of Health cannot raise the initial or renewal registration fees.

Enforcement and appeal rules for referral agencies

The Division may deny, suspend, or revoke a registration on the same grounds that apply to licenses under state law. If it plans to act, the Division must give reasonable notice by certified mail with the authority, jurisdiction, and reasons, unless a quick suspension is needed to protect public health. You may appeal and get a hearing under the Board’s rules.

Short grace period for senior living referrers

The Division must write rules to run the new registration program. Beginning October 1, 2025, an agency may keep operating without a license or Division registration until 120 days after those rules are adopted and approved by the Legislative Commission. This applies whether or not the agency held a license before October 1, 2025.
