This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to modify the requirements for settings that are exempt from assisted living licensure. It specifically updates the definition of "assisted living facility" to include various types of housing and services, such as emergency shelters and transitional housing, while also clarifying that any facility marketing itself as assisted living must comply with the relevant regulations. The bill introduces new definitions and requirements for "assisted living services," "subsidized assisted living contracts," and outlines the responsibilities of exempt settings regarding housing and services, contract requirements, and residents' rights.

Additionally, the bill repeals certain subdivisions of section 325F.722 that previously outlined contract requirements and remedies for disputes, thereby streamlining the legal framework governing exempt settings. New provisions are added to ensure compliance with specific sections related to contract terminations, handling residents' finances, and the rights of residents in these settings. The effective date for these changes is set for January 1, 2025, allowing time for implementation and adjustment to the new regulations.
