Compliance training for high-risk medical assistance providers required, and disclosure of the use of consultants to prepare license applications required.

This bill requires high-risk medical assistance providers in Minnesota to complete compliance training focused on drug and alcohol policies before employees or volunteers have direct contact with program participants. It also mandates that applicants disclose any consultants used to prepare their license applications and strengthens requirements for identifying controlling individuals during the licensing process. The legislation updates application procedures to include stricter timelines for commissioner responses, clearer documentation requirements, and provisions for electronic communication with the licensing authority. These changes aim to improve transparency and oversight for organizations providing medical assistance services under state regulation.
