- Require certain equipment to constitute a kitchen.
- Require facilities with sixteen (16) or more rooms to provide twenty-four (24) hour on site management.
- Establish and clarify standards for open space, amenities, and architectural design.
- Define and clarify terms, including, without limitation, the definition of “single room occupancy.” See the links below for more information.
