HF2331 (Legislative Session 94 (2025-2026))

Assisted living service providers exempted from direct care staff compensation requirements.

Related bill: SF2168

AI Generated Summary

This bill seeks to amend Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 256B.4914, subdivision 10d, to exempt assisted living service providers from direct care staff compensation requirements.

Currently, providers receiving rates under various subdivisions must allocate a specific percentage of their revenue to direct care staff compensation (ranging from 45% to 66%). Compensation includes wages, benefits such as health insurance and retirement spending, as well as paid time off and other monetary benefits for direct care staff.

The proposed amendment adds a provision stating that these compensation requirements do not apply to providers licensed as assisted living facilities by the Minnesota Department of Health under Chapter 144G. This would allow assisted living providers greater flexibility in how they use their funding, without being bound by the minimum staffing compensation percentages.
