AI Summary
This bill makes several changes to human services policies in Minnesota. It modifies provisions related to continuity of care when payments are withheld from providers, ensuring that interruptions to a person's public benefits lasting less than 60 days do not lead to service suspension or termination. The bill also updates regulations for aging and disability services, including clarifying definitions and requirements for positive support professionals and analysts, and establishing new rules for integrated community supports and housing accounts. It revises adult protective services protocols, outlining responsibilities for county social services agencies in receiving, assessing, and investigating maltreatment reports, and specifies data management and conflict of interest rules. Additionally, the bill modifies policies for substance use disorder treatment, including peer recovery support services and withdrawal management programs, and updates regulations for long-term care services, such as requiring nursing homes and assisted living facilities to have automatic external defibrillators and prohibiting them from requiring residents to have a guardian as a condition of admission or continued residence. It also adjusts licensing moratoriums for certain facilities and clarifies rules for home care providers and assisted living facilities regarding changes in ownership and fines. Finally, the bill permits certain facilities to serve intoxicating liquor without a license under specific conditions.
