New Wisconsin Law Protects Facilities from "Double Jeopardy"

Under a new law, Wisconsin nursing homes will have more time to pay penalties for citations and will be protected from receiving multiple citations on the same violation. Currently, homes can be cited twice - once by the state and once by federal authorities - for the same infraction.

The new law also gives Wisconsin greater authority to revoke nursing home licenses and sue facilities for violating federal laws.
