section 144G.01, that includes information about services offered by that provider, service costs,
and other relevant provider-specific information, as well as a statement of philosophy and values
associated with assisted living, presented in uniform categories that facilitate comparison with
guides issued by other providers; and
(2) requirements for informing assisted living clients, as defined in section 144G.01, of
their applicable legal rights.
(b) The commissioner, after reviewing the recommendations of the advisory committee,
shall adopt a uniform format for the guide to be used by individual providers, and the required
components of materials to be used by providers to inform assisted living clients of their legal
rights, and shall make the uniform format and the required components available to assisted
