Stating findings of the Legislature and authorizing the Department of Health and Welfare to enter into an agreement with the Idaho State Building Authority to finance a new skilled nursing facility on the Idaho State Hospital South campus.

This concurrent resolution provides authorization to the Department of Health and Welfare to enter into agreements, as may be necessary, with the Idaho State Building Authority to provide financing to design, construct, furnish, and equip a new skilled nursing facility on real property currently owned by the Department of Health and Welfare at the Idaho State Hospital South campus and to demolish the existing skilled nursing facility known as Syringa Chalet. Syringa Chalet was built in 1938 and despite numerous renovations it continues to have potentially serious health and safety concerns due to its aging infrastructure.
