New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed an executive order again extending a statewide emergency declaration and postponing a new law requiring nursing homes to increase spending on resident care and staffing efforts while capping profits.
She signed the order Jan. 30.
Ms. Hochul initially delayed the implementation of the law Dec. 31, after more than 250 New York nursing homes and trade groups filed a federal lawsuit seeking to block the new laws Dec. 30, alleging that they violated the U.S. Constitution and contradicted the supremacy clause.
The latest executive order suspends the laws through March 1.
