The bill modifies the definition of "nursing home" and "nursing home employer" within Minnesota Statutes 2024, specifically in section 181.211. The definition of "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 amendments aim to enhance the clarity and scope of the definitions related to nursing home operations and employment, ensuring that they align with current reimbursement standards and regulatory frameworks. By incorporating these changes, the bill seeks to improve the understanding of nursing home workforce standards and the entities involved in providing care within these facilities.
