(a) Prior approval by the Commissioner is required for any readmission of a veteran whose prior discharge was within six (6) months and is characterized as one or more of the following:

(1) Failure to comply with conduct specified in the regulations of Connecticut state agencies, including repeated minor offenses,

(2) Involuntary discharge,

(3) Absent without leave,

(4) Against medical advice, and

(5) Billing account not in good standing, or

(6) Repeated failure to comply with the terms and conditions of a plan of care.

(b) The Commissioner shall consider the following factors in any readmission decision:

(1) The mission of the agency,

(2) The health, safety and welfare of other patients, staff and visitors,

(3) The health, safety and welfare of the applicant and known risks of denial of readmission,

(4) History and past conduct of the applicant, including conduct while in residence at the Home and conduct since the last discharge,

(5) The availability of other services, activities or programs to serve the veteran's needs, including the U.S. Department of Veterans' Affairs, and

(6) Capability of the Department to meet the needs of the applicant and patient population as a whole.

(c) The Commissioner may require that the applicant participate in a program directed urine testing schedule for at least twenty-six weeks after admission as part of the individual plan of care, if recommended by the Admission Review Panel under subsection (e) of Section 27-102 l(d)-105 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies, if the previous discharge was involuntary as a result of testing positive on a urine test or if discharged as a result of possession of illegal substances.

(1) The Commissioner may require a urine test at the time of admission and deny admission if the test result is positive as defined in Section 27-102 l(d)-186 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies.

(2) If a veteran refuses to participate in program directed testing, the Commissioner may deny readmission.

(d) A presumption shall be held in favor of readmission, except where it is known to staff involved in the admission decision making process that the health, safety, or welfare of other veterans, staff, or visitors shall be or may be at risk due to applicant's past history. No presumption shall exist upon a second application for readmission in a twelve month period, if the prior application was denied for other than technical reasons:

(1) Personal history of causing physical injury to others, history of a violent crime within the past ten years or at the discretion of the Commissioner, or

(2) Demonstrated inability to respect the personal property of others or the state, or

(3) Personal history of introducing illegal substances, firearms or other inherently dangerous property into the Home, Transitional Living Center, and/or other state or private residential or health care institutions.
