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 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 refer to employers of nursing home workers in a nursing home as defined in the updated subdivision 7, rather than specifically in licensed, Medicaid-certified facilities.

These changes aim to clarify the definitions related to nursing home operations and the workforce, ensuring that the standards apply consistently across facilities that meet the new criteria. By broadening the definitions, the bill seeks to enhance the regulatory framework governing nursing home employers and their workers in Minnesota.
