This Minnesota bill, H.F. No. 1272, modifies the Nursing Home Workforce Standards Board by amending Minnesota Statutes section 181.211, subdivisions 7 and 8. Specifically, it clarifies the definitions of nursing homes and nursing home employers:

• Nursing Home: Now explicitly includes both nursing homes licensed under chapter 144A and boarding care homes licensed under sections 144.50 to 144.56, as long as they receive reimbursement under chapter 256R (which governs Medicaid reimbursement).

• Nursing Home Employer: Defined as an employer operating a licensed, Medicaid-certified facility reimbursed under chapter 256R.

The bill was introduced by Representatives Agbaje and Frazier and referred to the Committee on Workforce, Labor, and Economic Development Finance and Policy. The purpose appears to be refining definitions to ensure regulatory clarity related to nursing home labor standards.
