A BILL

TO AMEND SECTION 40-35-10, AS AMENDED, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO THE COMPOSITION AND AUTHORITY OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA BOARD OF LONG TERM HEALTH CARE ADMINISTRATORS, SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT THE COMMISSIONER OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL, WHO SERVES EX OFFICIO ON THIS BOARD, SERVES AS A VOTING, RATHER THAN A NONVOTING MEMBER OF THE BOARD.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SECTION    1.    Section 40-35-10(A) of the 1976 Code, as amended by Act 293 of 2004, is further amended to read:

"(A)    There is created the South Carolina Board of Long Term Health Care Administrators composed of nine members who must be appointed by the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Senate, for three-year terms and until their successors are appointed and qualify. Of the nine members:

(1)    three must be qualified nursing home administrators licensed under this chapter; one must be from a proprietary nursing home; one must be from a nonproprietary nursing home; and one must be a qualified hospital administrator;

(2)    three must be community residential care facility administrators, licensed under this chapter, at least one of whom must be from a community residential care facility with ten or fewer residents;

(3)    one must be a consumer, sponsor, or family member of a consumer of nursing home services;

(4)    one must be a consumer, sponsor, or family member of a consumer of community residential care services;

(5)    one must be a voting member of the Long Term Care Committee of the Health and Human Services Coordinating Council who must be nominated by election of the committee from among its voting members. If the Governor does not accept the nomination, an additional nominee must be selected in the same manner.

The Commissioner of the Department of Health and Environmental Control, or his designee, also shall serve as a nonvoting member on the board, ex officio.

An individual, group, or association may submit the names of qualified individuals to the Governor for his consideration in making these appointments.

A vacancy must be filled in the manner of the original appointment for the unexpired portion of the term. A member may not serve more than two consecutive full terms."

SECTION    2.    This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
