Oklahoma Senator James Lankford joined colleagues from both sides of the aisle to introduce the Congressional Review Act resolution of disapproval. This would overturn a ruling forcing several nursing homes to shut down. Lankford was critical of the ruling when it came down earlier this year, as he recently had this to say:

“The Biden Administration's staffing requirements won't fix workforce shortage problems or solve care quality problems, but they will make it even harder for seniors in rural areas to get care in their own communities.”

This is a resolution that is supported by LeadingAge, Care Providers Oklahoma and the American Health Care Association.
