Bill > HF1897

This bill modifies the process for child care providers to request reconsideration of correction orders issued by the Minnesota Department of Children, Youth, and Families. Under the updated law, providers must submit reconsideration requests within 20 calendar days of receiving a correction order, either by mail or through a new provider licensing and reporting hub. The request must specify which parts of the order are believed to be in error, explain why, and include supporting documentation. The bill introduces an expedited review process specifically for licensed family child care providers, allowing them to request a faster review if complying with the original correction order would require substantial financial expenditure or significant program changes. The bill also mandates that the commissioner must respond to reconsideration requests in writing within 90 calendar days (or 45 days for expedited reviews) and prohibits the public posting of correction orders on the department's website until after the reconsideration period has passed or a final disposition has been made. The commissioner's decision on a reconsideration request is final and not subject to further appeal under administrative law.
