25-E. Life Plan Communities: How State Laws Impact Financial Solvency

Existing state statutes and legislative challenges can threaten the financial management and strategic direction of life plan communities. This session will draw on research by LeadingAge, which examined how state laws affect the financial solvency of communities nationwide. An expert panel of LeadingAge state partners, business partners, and members will discuss the economic implications of proposed state legislation and review how advocacy by LeadingAge state partners has effectively curtailed harmful initiatives. They will also provide guidance to help you mobilize your organization, board, and residents to urge state policymakers to protect the financial autonomy of life plan communities and respect the ability of these communities to safeguard their economic viability.
