Purpose

• The bill repeals the sunset on the disproportionate share facility rate floor for customized living services, removing the expiration date that previously ended the rate floor at a set time.

Main Provisions

• Repeals Minnesota Statutes 2025 Supplement section 256S.205 subdivision 7 (the sunset provision for the customized living services disproportionate share rate adjustments).
• By repealing this section, the expiration of the rate floor (currently set to expire May 31, 2028) is removed, so the rate floor would no longer automatically terminate at that date.

Practical Effect

• The disproportionate share facility rate floor for customized living services is expected to continue without an automatic sunset.
• This may affect state Medicaid expenditures and budgeting, as funding levels tied to the rate floor would remain in place unless changed by future legislation.

Significance / Context

• The bill directly changes how long the rate floor remains in effect by eliminating the sunset mechanism and the associated expiration date.

Significant Changes to Existing Law

• The specific provision creating the expiration for the customized living services disproportionate share rate adjustments is repealed.
• The statute no longer contains an expiration date for this rate floor; the provision will be removed from the law.

Potential Considerations

• Fiscal impact on state budgeting and Medicaid funding for customized living services.
• Administrative and planning considerations for facilities relying on the rate floor.
