Commissioner of health assessed fees governing provisions modifications

SF 2988 amends Minnesota Statutes section 144.122 to modify how the Commissioner of Health sets fees for health-related licenses, permits, and certifications. It directly affects hospitals, nursing homes, laboratories, assisted living facilities, and other health care providers that must pay these fees to operate. Key provisions include establishing specific fee schedules (e.g., $7,655 plus $16 per bed for accredited hospitals, $183 plus $91 per bed for nursing homes) and requiring fees to cover actual service costs. The bill ensures fee-setting rules align with administrative costs and requires Department of Management and Budget approval for proposed fees.
