Exception to assisted living facility minimum site, physical environment, and fire safety requirements created for a facility in Hennepin County.

This bill creates a temporary exception to Minnesota's standard assisted living facility requirements for two specific buildings in Otter Tail and Hennepin Counties. It allows a three-story building in Otter Tail County and a four-story building in Saint Anthony to apply for assisted living licenses despite not meeting typical site, physical environment, and fire safety standards. The exception for the Otter Tail County facility expires on December 31, 2025, while the Hennepin County exception expires on December 31, 2026. This legislation directly affects the two named facilities by permitting them to operate under modified regulatory conditions.
