City of Ely nursing facility onetime rate add-on provision and appropriation

This bill allocates $250,000 from the state's general fund to provide a one-time rate increase for Boundary Waters Care Center, a nursing facility in Ely, Minnesota. The funding is designated for fiscal year 2027 and must be used without seeking additional federal matching funds. The appropriation is directed to the commissioner of human services to implement the rate adjustment under existing state statutes governing nursing facilities. This measure affects only this specific facility and does not establish a broader policy change for other nursing homes in the state.
