Assisted living service providers exempted from direct care staff compensation requirements.

HF 2331 exempts assisted living facilities licensed under Minnesota's Chapter 144G from existing rules requiring providers to allocate specific percentages (45-66%) of revenue toward direct care staff compensation. This change specifically applies to assisted living service providers, not other human services providers. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 256B.4914 by adding a new subsection (10d) that explicitly excludes these facilities from the compensation allocation requirements. The policy change removes a financial obligation for assisted living facilities regarding staff pay, without altering other funding or licensing standards.
