Due process procedures for home and community-based residential services modification

This bill modifies due process procedures for home and community-based residential services in Minnesota, primarily affecting individuals and entities that receive or provide services funded by medical assistance. It establishes new rules for imposing sanctions, including mandatory five-year program suspensions for those convicted of health service-related crimes and the authority to recover investigative costs from those who knowingly submit false reimbursement claims. The legislation also clarifies that billing errors resulting from unintentional overcharges cannot be used to justify cost recovery, while maintaining requirements for prior notice and hearings before most sanctions are applied, except in cases involving criminal convictions or credible fraud allegations where immediate payment suspension may occur.
