General Information
| Action Summary |
Chapters 166 and 180 of the 2025 Acts of Assembly authorize the State Health Commissioner to impose sanctions on nursing homes licensed in Virginia pursuant to the laws regulating medical care facilities and services. The Board of Health is required by Chapters 166 and 180 of the 2025 Acts of Assembly to promulgate regulations implementing the provisions of the act.
Chapters 166 and 180 of the 2025 Acts of Assembly specify the forms of sanctions that the Commissioner may impose, the nursing home's continued responsibility for persons under its care, the use of funds remunerated in accordance with such sanctions, the process for the imposition of such sanctions, and the Commissioner's ability to revoke such nursing home's license. The Acts of Assembly specify that sanctions shall not be imposed on a nursing home for the same conduct that is sanctioned by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
