SF 2522 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Certain facilities certain conditions for admission to or continued residence prohibition, assisted living facilities increases in charges review requirement, termination or non-renewal of assisted living contracts on certain grounds prohibition, and assisted living contracts arbitration provisions modifications

This bill, SF 2522, modifies Minnesota's assisted living facility regulations to protect residents. It prohibits facilities from requiring guardianship as a condition for admission or continued residence (Section 1). For fee increases exceeding the Consumer Price Index, facilities must submit detailed documentation - including staffing costs, new fees, balance sheets, and regional comparisons - to the commissioner for approval before implementation (Sections 3-4). These changes directly affect assisted living facilities and their residents by adding oversight for significant cost changes and preventing arbitrary contract terminations.
