Bill > HF2064

This bill modifies the requirements for terminating assisted living services in Minnesota, focusing on improving protections for residents during potential contract terminations. The bill updates several key provisions, including requiring facilities to schedule a meeting with residents before issuing a termination notice, with different timing requirements depending on the reason for termination. It expands notification methods to include electronic communication if previously consented to, and adds requirements for facilities to provide contact information for support services like the Senior LinkAge Line and Disability Hub. The bill also changes the appeals process for terminations, establishing expedited hearing timelines that vary based on the type of termination (14 days for some reasons, 7 days for others). Additionally, the bill clarifies facilities' obligations during emergency relocations, including providing retroactive notice if a resident is removed by first responders, and specifies that facilities must make reasonable efforts to help residents find alternative housing or services. The legislation aims to ensure a more transparent, supportive process for residents facing potential removal from assisted living facilities, with an emphasis on finding alternatives and protecting residents' rights.
