Effective July 1, 2004, new requirements relating to citations issued by the Department of Public Health against nursing homes took effect. These new requirements, which are set forth in P.A. 04-258, §39, could affect the ability of a nursing home owner or licensee to acquire additional nursing facilities.

Prior to this recent change, Connecticut General Statutes § 19a- 528a prohibited any nursing home owner or licensee, who (1) received four civil penalties as a result of citations from the Connecticut Department of Public Health, in a two year period, (2) had intermediate sanctions imposed through final adjudication under the Medicare or Medicaid programs, or (3) had a Medicare or Medicaid provider agreement terminated, from acquiring another nursing home in Connecticut for five years from the date of the imposed penalty, sanction, or termination.
