SF 1566 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Nursing Home Workforce Standards Board modification

This bill modifies two definitions in Minnesota law related to nursing home workforce regulations. It clarifies that "nursing home" includes facilities licensed under chapter 144A or boarding care homes under 144.50-144.56 that receive Medicaid reimbursement under chapter 256R. It also defines "nursing home employer" as any employer of nursing home workers in Medicaid-certified facilities meeting those reimbursement criteria. The changes directly affect licensed nursing homes and their employers participating in Minnesota's Medicaid program. This is a definitional adjustment with no new requirements or funding.
