4
as the resident's condition, preferences, or service needs
5
change, shall serve as a basis for the service delivery
6
contract between the provider and the resident. The resident
7
and the resident's representative, if any, shall, upon
8
request, be given a copy of the most recent assessment; a

25
subsections (b) through (g) of Section 75 of this Act.
