Bill > SF2988

This bill modifies existing Minnesota statutes governing fees assessed by the Commissioner of Health, specifically updating provisions related to licensing and certification fees for various healthcare facilities. The bill makes several key changes, including adjusting fee structures for hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and other healthcare providers. A notable provision allows the commissioner to adjust fees for assisted living facilities based on the percentage of residents receiving home and community-based waiver services, with the potential for up to a 10% reduction or increase in renewal fees depending on the facility's capacity. The bill maintains the existing requirement that fees collected should approximately cover the administrative costs of the health department's programs. The changes aim to create a more flexible and potentially more equitable fee structure for healthcare facilities, while ensuring that the state can recover the costs of licensing, certification, and regulatory oversight. The bill preserves the existing requirement that all fees be deposited in the state government special revenue fund and continue to be reasonable and proportionate to the actual costs of administration.
