Assembly passes bill on nursing home regulation
Nursing homes would receive fewer citations for violations — and would have more time to pay them — under a bill the Assembly approved early Friday. State officials estimate the bill would result in nursing homes having to pay $1.5 million less a year in forfeitures. The Assembly approved the bill 70-22, sending it to Gov. Scott Walker. The Senate approved it 24-7 last week. (JOURNAL SENTINEL, 11/4)
