Bill > HF3526

This bill modifies how fines collected from home care licensing surveys and investigations are handled, changes the requirements for appointing members to the home care and assisted living program advisory council, and establishes a new grant program for special projects aimed at improving the quality of care and outcomes for home care clients in Minnesota. Specifically, fines collected will now be deposited into a dedicated special revenue account, and the money in this account will be appropriated annually for a competitive grant program. This grant program will fund projects for licensed home care providers or related organizations, with criteria for these projects aligning with existing advisory council recommendations. The bill also clarifies the appointment process for the advisory council, requiring the commissioner of health to select qualified applicants within 60 days of receiving applications, after the positions have been publicly posted.
