§ 55.101. Purpose.
The purpose of this subchapter is to establish requirements for advance notice to health care facilities, and to the agencies of the Commonwealth that regulate the facilities, of termination of electric, gas, steam heat, water, sewer and local exchange telephone service to health care facilities. Advance notice of the termination of utility services is required so that alternative arrangements for the care of affected patients or residents who are dependent upon others due to permanent or temporary disabilities can be made by affected health care facilities, and by the agencies regulating them, prior to the actual cessation of utility services.
