The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 245A.06, to modify the actions taken against providers licensed under both chapter 245A and chapter 245D for licensing violations. It introduces several new provisions, including the requirement that correction orders or conditional licenses be specific to the service site where violations occurred, and that the commissioner must inform license holders of potential conditional licenses prior to audits if violations are found. Additionally, the bill allows for the reduction of the conditional license period if the license holder demonstrates compliance, and mandates that the commissioner refer license holders to legal or technical assistance when facing enforcement actions.

Furthermore, the bill requires the commissioner to partner with culturally specific organizations to provide education on licensing requirements and to report annually on the number of correction orders and conditional licenses issued. It also introduces a provision for alternative dispute resolution services for license holders appealing correction orders. These changes aim to enhance compliance and support for providers while ensuring accountability for licensing violations.
