Bill > SF2620

This bill makes numerous modifications to human services provisions across multiple areas of Minnesota law, focusing on licensing, background studies, operational policies, and anti-kickback regulations. Key provisions include updating requirements for child care providers, substance use disorder treatment programs, and opioid treatment programs, with changes affecting documentation, training, supervision, and client services. The bill introduces new anti-kickback legislation that prohibits receiving or providing payments in exchange for obtaining human services benefits, with criminal penalties for violations. It also allows for electronic signatures in certain human services documentation, modifies licensing procedures for various care settings, and clarifies requirements for background studies and professional qualifications. Additionally, the bill provides the commissioner of human services with some flexibility to modify definitions related to provider licensing and reporting, with the goal of implementing a new provider licensing and reporting hub. The changes aim to improve program oversight, prevent fraud, enhance service quality, and streamline administrative processes across various human services programs.
