Human services policy and finance bill.

This bill modifies Minnesota's assisted living facility regulations and tax rules while adjusting who can recover legal fees in certain proceedings. It raises the revenue threshold for small businesses eligible to recover fees and expenses in legal proceedings from $7 million to $13.5 million, and includes individual owners of those businesses in this eligibility. The bill also exempts assisted living facilities from the state provider tax and updates requirements for how facilities must allow residents to request assistance for health and safety needs. Additionally, it creates an exception for residents with moderate to severe cognitive impairment who cannot reliably use alerting devices, allowing facilities to not provide 24/7 request assistance systems for those specific individuals.
