family homes, and certified adult foster homes, to be provided to recipients
who are eligible for federal [supplementary] supplemental
security income or public assistance, or both.
The director shall provide for level of care payment as follows:
(1) Beginning on July 1, [2008,] 2024,
for adult residential care homes classified as facility type I, licensed
developmental disabilities domiciliary homes as defined under section 321-15.9,
community care foster family homes as defined under section 321-481, and

If
the operator does not provide the quality of care consistent with the needs of
the individual to the satisfaction of the department, the department may remove
the recipient to another facility.
The
department shall handle abusive practices under this section in accordance with
chapter 91.
Nothing in this subsection shall allow the director to remove a recipient from an adult residential care home or other similar institution if the recipient does not desire to be removed and the operator is agreeable to the recipient remaining, except where the recipient requires a higher level of care than provided or where the recipient no longer requires any domiciliary care."
SECTION 2. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
