The bill amends various sections of Minnesota Statutes related to assisted living service termination requirements. Key changes include the requirement for facilities to hold a meeting with residents and their representatives before issuing a termination notice, with specific timelines for scheduling these meetings based on the reason for termination. The bill also mandates that facilities provide detailed written notices of termination, including the effective date, reasons for termination, and information on the resident's rights to appeal. Additionally, it clarifies that a facility must ensure a coordinated move for residents if their services are reduced or if they need to relocate due to termination.

Further amendments include provisions for emergency relocations, allowing facilities to remove residents under urgent circumstances while still requiring written notice to be provided afterward. The bill also establishes a clearer appeals process for residents facing termination, including expedited hearings and the right to present evidence. Notably, it emphasizes that facilities must assist residents in finding alternative housing or services and outlines the obligations of facilities in the event of a termination or service reduction. Overall, the bill aims to enhance protections for residents in assisted living facilities by ensuring they are informed and supported throughout the termination process.
