Cities and counties standardize facility names

Beginning July 1, 2025, each county board and each city must use the same set of names in their ordinances for certain facilities. The names are: child care institution; facility for transitional living for released offenders; group foster home; home for individual residential care; recovery house for persons recovering from alcohol or other substance use disorders; residential facility for groups; and facility for skilled nursing. Using these names does not force a city or county to adopt the State’s definitions or add new rules. A city or county may leave out a name if no such facility exists there or if its ordinances do not refer to that type.

Clear rules and safeguards for skilled nursing

Beginning July 1, 2025, the law defines a "facility for skilled nursing" as a place that gives continuous inpatient skilled nursing and related care ordered by a doctor to patients who are not in an acute episode and who need ongoing access to such care. It excludes general hospitals and other special hospitals. Any facility that is operating on June 30, 2025 and treated as a skilled nursing facility, nursing home, or similar under a city or county ordinance adopted by then is deemed a "facility for skilled nursing" under any local ordinance adopted on or after July 1, 2025. This protects existing facilities from being reclassified when cities or counties update their terms.
