What’s in it

This bill requires the department on aging and the departments of human services, inspections and appeals, and corrections, cooperatively, to develop and issue a request for proposals (RFP) to solicit potential operators of a facility in the state for geriatric persons, including geriatric individuals who are registered on the sex offender registry or who are sexually aggressive. The RFP shall provide for operation of the facility based on the recommendations included in the geriatric patient housing review report submitted to the governor and the general assembly on December 14, 2018, pursuant to 2018 legislation that required the review by the same departments.

Read the full explanation

Specifically, the RFP shall solicit potential operators pursuant to option one of the report recommendations whereby a private provider would operate within an existing vacant state facility and option two of the report recommendations whereby the state would appropriate funding for a private provider to operate a facility program for the targeted individuals. The bill requires the department on aging to submit a progress report to the governor and the general assembly by October 1, 2019, which shall include the date of issuance of the RFP and any responses received.
