The Bureau of Elderly and Adult Services (BEAS) is proposing to readopt the Standard Disclosure Summary rule, He-E 605. In accordance with RSA 161-J, the purpose of the rule is to describe the informational requirements of the Standard Disclosure Summary Form, which enables a prospective resident of an assisted living residence, independent living retirement community or other housing for older persons to make informed choices and comparisions about residential services and costs. An annotated copy of the proposed rule is available by clicking the two links provided below. The links also include the rulemaking notice published by the Office of Legislative Services, and a copy of the proposed revised Standard Disclosure Summary. The revisions do not alter the basic requirements of the Summary, but include some minor edits and clarifications.
Initial Proposal He-E 605 (pdf) Revised Draft Standard Disclosure Summary (pdf) A public hearing on the proposed rule will be held on Tuesday, November 15, 2011 at 1:00pm, in Room 288 of Brown Building, 129 Pleasant St., Concord, NH. The deadline for submitting written comments on the proposed rule is Tuesday, November 22, 2011 (please see the rulemaking notice for details).
NHARCH members are encouraged to review the documentation provided and to submit testimony either in person at the hearing or in writing before the November 22 deadline. As an FYI, it is always best that anyone interested in giving testimony at the hearing also provide copies of his or her testimony in writing. |
