Introduced By: Representatives Ucci, Palumbo, Kennedy, and Jacquard

Date Introduced: June 26, 2013

It is enacted by the General Assembly as follows:

SECTION 1. Section 5-45-8 of the General Laws in Chapter 5-45 entitled "Nursing

Home Administrators" is hereby amended to read as follows:

5-45-8. Licensure in other jurisdictions. -- The department may issue a nursing home

administrator's license without examination, to any person who holds a current license in good

standing as a nursing home administrator from another jurisdiction; provided, that the department

finds that the individual meets education and experience requirements as established by the

department regulation. For purposes of this section the department shall not disqualify an

applicant on the basis that his or her most recent experience was in a management position having

direct responsibility for overseeing and directing a number of licensed nursing home

administrators, rather than as an administrator of a licensed long-term care facility.

SECTION 2. This act shall take effect upon passage.
