Bill > SF814

This bill modifies Minnesota's housing support agreements by updating the requirements for agreements between agencies and housing support providers. The bill requires written agreements that include specific details like the provider's business name, address, licensing information, per diem rates, and number of beds. Providers must verify key minimum requirements, including current licensing, staff qualifications, housing support and supplementary services provision, adverse event reporting, and residency requirements. The bill explicitly prohibits agencies from refusing to enter housing support agreements based on two specific criteria: the type of medical assistance or publicly funded program a potential resident might receive, and characteristics of the housing establishment such as size, capacity, location, zoning, or building type. Additionally, the bill modifies termination provisions by removing language about terminating agreements "without cause" and maintains the two-month notice requirement for agreement terminations. The changes aim to expand housing support access and prevent potential discrimination in housing support agreement negotiations.
