nursing home beds in a CCC does not exceed 24 percent of the number of independent
living units (ILU) in a CCC with fewer than 300 ILUs, or 20 percent of the number of
ILUs in a CCC with 300 or more ILUs. The Department of Health and Mental
Hygiene (DHMH) must report to the Governor and General Assembly by January 1,
2002 on the bill's effect on the long-term care industry.
Senate Bill 403, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on May
11, 2000, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign
House Bill 864.
Sincerely,
Parris N. Glendening
Governor
