Nursing Home Workforce Standards Boards repealer

SF 1531 repeals Minnesota Statutes sections 181.211 through 181.217, which established the Nursing Home Workforce Standards Board and related requirements. This bill removes the legal framework for the board, ending its authority to set workforce standards in nursing homes. Nursing home employers would no longer be subject to the board's oversight or compliance requirements under these repealed statutes. The bill does not create new policies but eliminates existing administrative structures related to nursing home staffing standards.
