The bill modifies the definition of "nursing home" and "nursing home employer" within Minnesota Statutes 2024, specifically in section 181.211. The term "nursing home" is expanded to include facilities that are licensed under chapter 144A and reimbursed under chapter 256R. Additionally, the definition of "nursing home employer" is updated to refer to employers of nursing home workers in a nursing home as defined in the newly amended subdivision 7, rather than being limited to licensed, Medicaid-certified facilities.

These changes aim to clarify the standards and definitions related to nursing home operations and employment, ensuring that the regulations encompass a broader range of facilities and reimbursement structures. By aligning the definitions with the relevant chapters, the bill seeks to enhance the regulatory framework governing nursing home workforce standards in Minnesota.
