The Minnesota Department of Health has opened the official public comment period for new rules that will establish an assisted living license for senior care facilities in Minnesota. The authority for these rules comes from legislation passed by the Minnesota Legislature and signed into law by Governor Tim Walz in 2019 to improve the safety and quality of care in long-term care in Minnesota. Under the new law, each assisted living facility will have one license that combines housing with services and home care regulations. The new assisted living licensure law is in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 144G. The new assisted living licensure regulations are scheduled to go into effect on August 1, 2021. 

The public is encouraged to comment on these rules, and you can help Jenny and her team by writing a personal comment in support of Breck, and questioning the need for these changes for residential care homes like Breck..

You must submit all written comments via the Office of Administrative Hearings Rulemaking eComments website. You can find instructions on how to submit all written comments on the Assisted Living Licensure webpage. 

You will need to create a profile and this requires a bit of patience. You will have to create a user id and password first - but after that you can either write your comments in the box provided, or attach a more detailed document for them to read.
