Minnesota Nursing Home Workforce Standards Board expedited rulemaking authority removal provision

Minnesota Senate File 602 removes the Minnesota Nursing Home Workforce Standards Board's ability to use expedited rulemaking (under Section 14.389) when updating or reviewing nursing home worker standards. The bill amends statutes to require the board to follow regular rulemaking procedures instead of expedited processes for establishing or revising standards related to worker compensation, training, and health/safety notices. This change affects how the board implements rules governing nursing home worker protections, including wage standards and posting requirements for employee rights information. The board must still conduct biennial reviews of standards but will no longer have streamlined authority for updates. The bill does not alter the substantive standards themselves, only the procedural method for adopting or revising them.
