Bill > HF2250

This bill removes the expedited rulemaking authority for the Minnesota Nursing Home Workforce Standards Board, which means the board will now have to follow standard administrative rulemaking procedures when establishing or updating employment standards for nursing homes. Specifically, the bill eliminates references to section 14.389 (which allowed for expedited rulemaking) across several statutory sections related to the board's functions. The board will still retain its core responsibilities, including adopting rules for minimum nursing home employment standards, establishing wage standards, reviewing standards every two years, certifying worker organizations, and specifying notice content requirements. The changes do not fundamentally alter the board's substantive powers but will require it to go through more traditional, potentially lengthier rulemaking processes when creating or modifying rules. The bill affects sections of Minnesota Statutes related to nursing home worker rights and standards, ensuring that any rule changes will now follow more comprehensive administrative review procedures.
