The bill actually creates impediments.

This whole process of offenders in nursing homes happened under the radar until now. This bill creates a process so we don't have to swoop in after harm has been done and assess a fine. We can protect on the front end.

Nobody is going to invest facing these impediments.

The pace of review has quickened, which creates dynamism. There's no indication of a market trend going back east. Besides, if we think we have a hold on business just because of geography, then we're only real-estate agents.

We certainly wouldn't want that to be a holdup to not getting the bill done.

Setting universal standards about how clinicians interact with vendors, and putting more definition around these standards is a good idea and will protect the integrity of our industry.
