SF 2934 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Assisted living provisions modifications

This bill (SF 2934) updates Minnesota's assisted living facility regulations by adding clear definitions for "chemical restraint," "manual restraint," "mechanical restraint," and "restraint" to align with existing laws. It modifies licensing requirements, including new rules that effective January 1, 2026, prohibit unlicensed entities from using the term "assisted living" in advertising or promotion, and bans new facilities from including "home care" or "nursing home" in their names. The bill also clarifies campus licensing options for facilities operating multiple buildings under one license. These changes primarily affect assisted living facilities, their operators, and marketing practices, ensuring consistent terminology and licensing standards.
