Related bill: HF1272
AI Generated Summary
This legislative bill aims to update definitions relating to nursing home facilities and their employers in Minnesota. Specifically, it revises the definitions of what constitutes a "nursing home" and a "nursing home employer" under Minnesota law. A "nursing home" will be formally recognized as a facility that’s licensed either under specific state healthcare facility licensing standards or as a boarding care home, with both types reimbursed under a particular state Medicaid chapter. A "nursing home employer" is defined as an entity that employs workers in these licensed and Medicaid-certified facilities. The bill makes these amendments to ensure clarity and standardization in how nursing homes and their employers are recognized and regulated under state law.
