Bill > SF2168

This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to create an exemption for assisted living facilities from direct care staff compensation requirements. Currently, different types of care providers are required to spend a specific percentage of their revenue (ranging from 45% to 66%) on direct care staff compensation, which includes wages, benefits, insurance, retirement spending, and other monetary benefits. The bill specifically adds a new provision that excludes assisted living facilities licensed under chapter 144G from these compensation mandates. By doing so, these facilities would no longer be obligated to allocate a minimum percentage of their revenue to direct care staff compensation, potentially giving them more flexibility in how they use their funding. This exemption could impact the wages and benefits of direct care staff working in assisted living facilities, though the specific implications would depend on individual facility practices.
