HB 1441 -- Long-Term Care Ombudsman Volunteers

Sponsor:  Graham

This bill prohibits any long-term care facility from relieving an
ombudsman volunteer from their duties.  Ombudsman volunteers may
only be relieved by the regional ombudsman in consultation with
the state ombudsman.

The bill further requires all long-term care facilities to accept
ombudsman volunteers when they are available.  Any long-term care
facility not willing to work with the ombudsman program will be
subject to sanctions by the Department of Health and Senior
Services.
