This bill modifies the definitions related to nursing homes and nursing home employers in Minnesota Statutes 2024, specifically in section 181.211. The term "nursing home" is updated to include facilities that are licensed under chapter 144A and reimbursed under chapter 256R. Additionally, the definition of "nursing home employer" is revised to clarify that it refers to employers of nursing home workers in a nursing home as defined in the updated subdivision 7, rather than being limited to licensed, Medicaid-certified facilities.

These changes aim to enhance the clarity and scope of the definitions related to nursing home operations and employment, ensuring that the standards apply consistently across relevant statutes. By broadening the definitions, the bill seeks to improve the regulatory framework governing nursing home workforce standards in Minnesota.
