Senate adopts conference report to require alternative power sources at nursing facilities
Summary
Senators adopted the conference report on House Bill 1095, which clarifies generator language and aligns state requirements with a federal initiative to support investment in alternative power for nursing facilities.
Chairman Math presented the conference committee report on House Bill 1095, which makes technical corrections and adds language to align the law with a federal initiative on power investments for nursing facilities. "This, fixes a mistake that was made in the senate side," the chairman said, adding that the report "removed a word dealing with generators and permanency, and it also added language that piggybacks off of a federal initiative."
After the presentation, the Senate adopted the conference committee report by recorded vote; the clerk announced 38 yeas and 0 nays and the Chair declared the report adopted. The change focuses on ensuring nursing facilities have fuel or alternative power sources to maintain operations during outages.
