This resolution urges state officials to develop options that would allow patients and residents to continue visiting loved ones in nursing facilities and assisted living centers. It does not change existing law, but rather calls for the state to create plans to protect visitation rights, likely in response to pandemic-related restrictions. This is a non-binding expression of the legislature's policy preference rather than a new requirement.
