Bill	Long-term care facilities: requirements for changes resulting in the inability of the facility to care for its residents.	(1) Existing law imposes various notice and planning requirements upon a long-term health care facility before allowing a change in the status of the license or operation of the facility that results in the inability of the facility to care for its patients or residents, including a requirement for written notification to the affected patients or their guardians at least 30 days prior to the change. Under existing law, these requirements also include taking reasonable steps to medically, socially, and physically assess each affected patient or resident prior to a transfer due to the change, and, when 10 or more residents are likely to be transferred due to a change, the preparation and submission of a proposed relocation plan to the department for approval. A violation of these requirements is a misdemeanor and also may be enforced by the issuance of citations and the imposition of civil penalties.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20172018	AB 275	California AB 275 (20172018)	bill	Long-term care facilities: requirements for changes resulting in the inability of the facility to care for its residents.	enacted	Wood	9	28	5	2017-02-01	2017-09-01	openstates	ocd-bill/c0bf45e6-d87a-41c2-8834-8ff7620cfb76	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB275	f48d514c5429c75cae56b43d787e14e99e8ca14a79d816a421bd98d75a3c6053	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
