Consent to electronic monitoring requirements modified, retaliation in nursing homes and assisted living facilities provisions modified, membership and duties of home care and assisted living program advisory council expanded, hospice bill of rights modified, required binding arbitration agreements prohibited in assisted living contracts, medication management requirements modified, and health care agents authority to restrict visitation and communication modified.

HF 2458 modifies key protections for residents in Minnesota nursing homes and assisted living facilities. It requires written consent for electronic monitoring (including roommate consent), expands retaliation protections to prohibit unauthorized removal of monitoring devices, and bans required binding arbitration in assisted living contracts. The bill also updates medication management rules, clarifies health care agents' authority over visitation, and expands advisory council membership for home care services. These changes directly affect residents, facility staff, and family members by strengthening privacy rights and reducing contractual barriers.
