Overview
This bill modifies the licensing requirements for homes for the aged in Michigan. It creates a process for facilities to apply for an exemption from certain licensure requirements if specific conditions are met, such as relatedness between the providers of room and personal care or resident choice of providers. The bill also establishes a fee for the department to review exemption applications and outlines circumstances under which an exemption can be revoked. Finally, it allows the department to adjust the fee for reviewing exemption applications to reflect state wage increases.
