The bill modifies the definition of "nursing home" and "nursing home employer" within Minnesota Statutes 2024, specifically in section 181.211. It clarifies that a nursing home is a facility licensed under chapter 144A and reimbursed under chapter 256R. Additionally, the definition of a nursing home employer is updated to refer to an employer of nursing home workers in a nursing home as defined in the newly amended subdivision 7, rather than specifying a licensed, Medicaid-certified facility.

These changes aim to streamline the definitions related to nursing home operations and ensure that the standards for nursing home workforce are clear and consistent with the reimbursement guidelines set forth in the relevant chapters. The amendments reflect a focus on aligning the legal language with current practices in the nursing home industry.
