Certain nursing facility property increases sunset removal provision and nursing facility property rate increase removal provision

Maddy summaryThis bill removes the automatic expiration (sunset) of specific property rate increases for four nursing facilities in Minnesota. It directly affects facilities in St. Paul ($10.65 increase), Duluth ($20.81), Chatfield ($21.35), and Fergus Falls ($38.56 for six months), all effective January 1, 2025. The key provision extends these rate increases permanently (or through June 2025 for Fergus Falls) instead of ending them on a set date. The changes apply to the facilities' property payment rates under state law, with the full effect beginning July 1, 2025.
