Summary:
Pursuant to Chapter 687 of the 2009 Acts of the Assembly, the Board of Long-Term Care Administrators has amended its regulations relating to the responsibility of the licensee, certificate holder, or registrant to provide current addresses. Chapter 687 requires that every regulant of the board must provide an address of record for use by the board and the department, but permits a person to provide a second address to be used as the public address. If a second address is not provided, the address of record becomes the public address. Regulations are amended to use the statutory terminology of address of record and to clarify that the regulant has a responsibility to notify the board if there is a change in the public address as well as the address of record (if there is a difference).
