  1.1                          A bill for an act 
  1.2             relating to human services; providing for changes to 
  1.3             rate setting for certain nursing facilities engaged in 
  1.4             residential rehabilitation operations under Rule 80; 
  1.5             appropriating money; amending Minnesota Statutes 1998, 
  1.6             sections 256B.431, by adding a subdivision; and 
  1.7             256B.435, by adding a subdivision. 
  1.8   BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA: 
  1.9      Section 1.  Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 256B.431, is 
  1.10  amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
  1.11     Subd. 28.  [RULE 80 APS ADJUSTMENT.] For the rate year 
  1.12  beginning July 1, 1999, the commissioner shall calculate the 
  1.13  payment rate for a nursing facility in Golden Valley with all 
  1.14  its beds licensed to provide residential rehabilitative services 
  1.15  to young adults under Minnesota Rules, parts 9570.2000 to 
  1.16  9570.3400, by increasing the nursing facility's payment rate 
  1.17  computed according to section 256B.434 by $22.25.  The resulting 
  1.18  total payment rate shall constitute the facility's contract 
  1.19  payment rate for purposes of any annual adjustment in the rate 
  1.20  year beginning on July 1, 2000. 
  1.21     Sec. 2.  Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 256B.435, is 
  1.22  amended by adding a subdivision to read: 
  1.23     Subd. 4.  [RULE 80; RESIDENTIAL REHABILITATION FACILITY 
  1.24  PAYMENT PROVISIONS.] Effective on or after July 1, 2000, but in 
  1.25  no event later than July 1, 2001, the commissioner shall 
  1.26  implement a performance-based contract payment system for the 
  2.1   facility identified in section 256B.431, subdivision 28, with 
  2.2   such terms and conditions as the commissioner deems reasonable 
  2.3   and necessary to accommodate the distinctive operational and 
  2.4   financial requirements of the facility and to preserve and 
  2.5   encourage the savings to the state generated by the facility's 
  2.6   successful diversion and discharge to community alternatives and 
  2.7   the reduction of acute care costs resulting from the facility's 
  2.8   operations, which would allow the annual adjustment of payment 
  2.9   rates to the facility to vary from the annual adjustment that 
  2.10  would otherwise be available under the standard contract upon a 
  2.11  finding by the commissioner that the performance of the 
  2.12  facility's operations failed to meet, met, or exceeded the 
  2.13  standards contained in the contract.  If such an adjustment is 
  2.14  positive, it may not exceed the standard annual adjustment by 
  2.15  more than three percent unless the commissioner finds that 
  2.16  performance by the facility under the contract has resulted in 
  2.17  savings to the state that offset the adjustment in excess of 
  2.18  three percent. 
  2.19     Sec. 3.  [APPROPRIATION.] 
  2.20     $....... is appropriated from the general fund to the 
  2.21  commissioner of human services to implement sections 1 and 2.
