Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 256B.431,

Subd. 17f.

Provisions for specific facilities.

total replacement, as defined in subdivision 17d, authorized

County, the replacement-costs-new per bed limit shall be $74,280
per licensed bed in multiple-bed rooms, $92,850 per licensed bed
in semiprivate rooms with a fixed partition separating the
resident's beds, and $111,420 per licensed bed in a single
room. Minnesota Rules, part 9549.0060, subpart 11, item C,
subitem (2), does not apply. The resulting maximum allowable
replacement-costs-new multiplied by 1.25 shall constitute the
project's dollar threshold for purposes of application of the
limit set forth in section 144A.071, subdivision 2. The
commissioner of health may waive the requirements of section
144A.073, subdivision 3b, paragraph (b), clause (2), on the
condition that the other requirements of that paragraph are met.

(b) For a renovation authorized under section 144A.073 for
a 65-bed nursing home in St. Louis County, the incremental
increase in rental rate for purposes of subdivision 17b shall be
$8.16, and the total replacement cost, allowable appraised
value, allowable debt, and allowable interest shall be increased
according to the incremental increase.

(c) For a total replacement, as defined in subdivision 17d,
authorized under section 144A.073 involving a new building
addition that relocates beds from three-bed wards for an 80-bed
nursing home in Redwood County, the replacement-costs-new per
bed limit shall be $74,280 per licensed bed for multiple-bed
rooms; $92,850 per licensed bed for semiprivate rooms with a
fixed partition separating the beds; and $111,420 per licensed
bed for single rooms. These amounts shall be adjusted annually,
beginning January 1, 2001. Minnesota Rules, part 9549.0060,
subpart 11, item C, subitem (2), does not apply. The resulting
maximum allowable replacement-costs-new multiplied by 1.25 shall
constitute the project's dollar threshold for purposes of
application of the limit set forth in section 144A.071,
subdivision 2. The commissioner of health may waive the
requirements of section 144A.073, subdivision 3b, paragraph (b),
clause (2), on the condition that the other requirements of that
paragraph are met.
