Governor Extends EO 4 Through March 1st
On Jan. 30, 2022, Governor Hochul issued Executive Order (EO) 4.5 extending her previous EOs (4, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, and 4.4) through March 1, 2022. There were no new "orders" issued as part of this EO; however, it continues the suspension of the 70/40 minimum direct care spending regulation enforcement as well as the minimum staffing regulation enforcement through at least March 1st. Members should also note that EO 4.5 allows the continuation of the use of out-of-state licensed staff in the nursing home setting without a New York State-issued nursing license.
