This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, specifically section 245A.06, to modify the actions taken against providers licensed under chapter 245D for licensing violations. Key changes include the introduction of conditional licenses specific to service sites where violations occur, rather than applying to all sites operated by the same license holder. The commissioner is required to inform license holders about potential conditional licenses during audits and may reduce the duration of such licenses if compliance is demonstrated. Additionally, the bill mandates that the commissioner refer license holders to legal assistance when facing enforcement actions and collaborate with culturally specific organizations to provide education and support.

Furthermore, the bill establishes a reporting requirement for the commissioner to provide annual updates to legislative committees on the issuance of correction orders and conditional licenses, including data on the affected license holders. It also introduces provisions for reconsideration of correction orders, allowing license holders to request a review if they believe an order is erroneous. For those operating under both chapters, the commissioner must offer alternative dispute resolution services during appeals of correction orders. These amendments aim to enhance the regulatory framework for human services licensing while ensuring support and compliance for providers.
