CT SB00369

Nursing home facilities must disclose in writing to prospective patients a complete and accurate list of all additional costs they may incur and display copies in conspicuous locations.

Nursing homes are prohibited from enforcing surety contracts on applicants unless the guarantor or their spouse, children, or grandchildren received property from the applicant for less than fair market value under section 17b-261.

Surety contracts must contain a clause explicitly stating the contract is enforceable only if the guarantor or their family members received property from the applicant at below fair market value.

Voluntary surety contracts remain permissible under this provision.

The act takes effect July 1, 2010.
