Bill > SF1146

This bill modifies licensing violation actions for providers licensed under Chapters 245A and 245D, which govern human services and home and community-based services in Minnesota. The bill introduces several key provisions that aim to make the licensing enforcement process more transparent, supportive, and targeted. Specifically, when the commissioner issues a correction order or conditional license, it must be specific to the service site where violations occurred, rather than automatically applying to all sites operated by the same license holder. The bill also requires the commissioner to warn license holders before issuing a conditional license and allows for reducing the length of a conditional license if the provider demonstrates compliance. Additionally, the bill mandates that the commissioner must offer technical assistance, legal resources, and partner with culturally specific organizations to provide education on licensing requirements. The commissioner is now required to submit an annual report to legislative committees detailing the number of correction orders and conditional licenses issued, including aggregated data about the affected license holders. The bill also expands reconsideration procedures by offering alternative dispute resolution services for license holders appealing correction orders and provides more detailed processes for requesting reconsideration of correction orders.
