Nursing Facilities: Removal of Sunset Clause for Bed Surcharges
This proposed bill would remove a sunset clause from the law that imposes privilege assessments and surcharges on each nursing home bed in Alabama. Previously, these charges were set to expire at some point in the future due to the sunset clause. If enacted, this change would mean that the charges will continue indefinitely unless further legislation is passed to amend or repeal them. Nursing facilities are directly affected by this proposed change as they will have ongoing financial obligations related to these assessments and surcharges.
The previous version of the law included a sunset clause that would have ended privilege assessments and surcharges on nursing home beds at some future date.
