What is the civil penalty fee for an RC violation?

The civil penalty fee for a Residential Care / Assisted Living (RC/AL) violation is established at $100 per violation per day. This amount reflects the regulatory framework designed to deter non-compliance with established standards and ensure that facilities maintain a safe and supportive environment for residents.

The rationale behind this specific monetary figure is to impose a significant enough penalty to encourage prompt corrective actions from providers that may not be in compliance with regulations. Setting the fee at this level balances the need for accountability while considering the operational realities that facilities face. This ensures that the penalty system is both fair and effective in promoting adherence to health and safety standards.
