of beds from a 65-bed nonprofit nursing facility in the community resulting in the delicensure of
69 beds in the two existing facilities Two nursing facilities, one for 84 beds and one for 65 beds, in
the city of Red Wing licensed on July 1, 2015, shall be consolidated into a newly renovated 64-bed
nursing facility resulting in the delicensure of 85 beds. Notwithstanding the carryforward of the
approval authority in section 144A.073, subdivision 11, the funding approved in April 2009 by the
commissioner of health for a project in Goodhue County shall not carry forward. The closure of
the 69 85 beds shall not be eligible for a planned closure rate adjustment under section 256B.437.
The construction project permitted in this clause shall not be eligible for a threshold project rate
adjustment under section 256B.434, subdivision 4f. The property payment rate for the first three
years of operation of external fixed costs for the new facility shall be increased by an amount as
calculated according to items (i) to (vi):
(i) compute the estimated decrease in medical assistance residents served by both nursing
facilities by multiplying the difference between the occupied beds of the two nursing facilities for
the reporting year ending September 30, 2009, and the projected occupancy of the facility at 95
percent occupancy by the historical percentage of medical assistance resident days;
(ii) compute the annual savings to the medical assistance program from the delicensure by
multiplying the anticipated decrease in the medical assistance residents, determined in item (i), by
the hospital-owned nursing facility weighted average payment rate multiplied by 365;
(iii) compute the anticipated annual costs for community-based services by multiplying the
anticipated decrease in medical assistance residents served by the facilities, determined in item (i),
by the average monthly elderly waiver service costs for individuals in Goodhue County multiplied
by 12;
(iv) subtract the amount in item (iii) from the amount in item (ii);
(v) multiply the amount in item (iv) by 48.5 57.2 percent; and
(vi) divide the difference of the amount in item (iv) and the amount in item (v) by an amount
equal to the relocated nursing facility's occupancy factor under section 256B.431, subdivision 3f,
paragraph (c), multiplied by the historical percentage of medical assistance resident days.
For subsequent years, the adjusted property payment rate shall be adjusted for inflation as
provided in section 256B.434, subdivision 4, paragraph (c), as long as the facility has a contract
under section 256B.434.
(b) Projects approved under this subdivision shall be treated in a manner equivalent to projects
approved under subdivision 4a.
EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective for rate years beginning on or after January 1,
2017, except that the amendment to paragraph (a), clause (6), transferring the rate adjustment in
items (i) to (vi) from the property payment rate to the payment rate for external fixed costs, is
effective for rate years beginning on or after January 1, 2017, or upon completion of the closure and
new construction authorized in paragraph (a), clause (6), whichever is later. The commissioner of
human services shall notify the revisor of statutes when the section is effective.
Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2014, section 144A.071, subdivision 4d, is amended to read:
Subd. 4d. Consolidation of nursing facilities. (a) The commissioner of health, in consultation
with the commissioner of human services, may approve a request for consolidation of nursing
6790
[94TH DAY
facilities which includes the closure of one or more facilities and the upgrading of the physical
plant of the remaining nursing facility or facilities, the costs of which exceed the threshold project
limit under subdivision 2, clause (a). The commissioners shall consider the criteria in this section,
section 144A.073, and section 256B.437, in approving or rejecting a consolidation proposal. In the
event the commissioners approve the request, the commissioner of human services shall calculate
a property an external fixed costs rate adjustment according to clauses (1) to (3):
(1) the closure of beds shall not be eligible for a planned closure rate adjustment under section
256B.437, subdivision 6;
(2) the construction project permitted in this clause shall not be eligible for a threshold project
rate adjustment under section 256B.434, subdivision 4f, or a moratorium exception adjustment under
section 144A.073; and
(3) the property payment rate for external fixed costs for a remaining facility or facilities shall be
increased by an amount equal to 65 percent of the projected net cost savings to the state calculated
in paragraph (b), divided by the state's medical assistance percentage of medical assistance dollars,
and then divided by estimated medical assistance resident days, as determined in paragraph (c), of
the remaining nursing facility or facilities in the request in this paragraph. The rate adjustment is
effective on the later of the first day of the month following completion of the construction upgrades
in the consolidation plan or the first day of the month following the complete closure of a facility
designated for closure in the consolidation plan. If more than one facility is receiving upgrades in
the consolidation plan, each facility's date of construction completion must be evaluated separately.
(b) For purposes of calculating the net cost savings to the state, the commissioner shall consider
clauses (1) to (7):
(1) the annual savings from estimated medical assistance payments from the net number of beds
closed taking into consideration only beds that are in active service on the date of the request and
that have been in active service for at least three years;
(2) the estimated annual cost of increased case load of individuals receiving services under the
elderly waiver;
(3) the estimated annual cost of elderly waiver recipients receiving support under group
residential housing;
(4) the estimated annual cost of increased case load of individuals receiving services under the
alternative care program;
(5) the annual loss of license surcharge payments on closed beds;
(6) the savings from not paying planned closure rate adjustments that the facilities would
otherwise be eligible for under section 256B.437; and
(7) the savings from not paying property external fixed costs payment rate adjustments from
submission of renovation costs that would otherwise be eligible as threshold projects under section
256B.434, subdivision 4f.
(c) For purposes of the calculation in paragraph (a), clause (3), the estimated medical assistance
resident days of the remaining facility or facilities shall be computed assuming 95 percent occupancy
multiplied by the historical percentage of medical assistance resident days of the remaining facility

or facilities, as reported on the facility's or facilities' most recent nursing facility statistical and cost
report filed before the plan of closure is submitted, multiplied by 365.
(d) For purposes of net cost of savings to the state in paragraph (b), the average occupancy
percentages will be those reported on the facility's or facilities' most recent nursing facility statistical
and cost report filed before the plan of closure is submitted, and the average payment rates shall be
calculated based on the approved payment rates in effect at the time the consolidation request is
submitted.
(e) To qualify for the property external fixed costs payment rate adjustment under this provision
subdivision, the closing facilities shall:
(1) submit an application for closure according to section 256B.437, subdivision 3; and
(2) follow the resident relocation provisions of section 144A.161.
(f) The county or counties in which a facility or facilities are closed under this subdivision shall
not be eligible for designation as a hardship area under section 144A.071, subdivision 3, for five
years from the date of the approval of the proposed consolidation. The applicant shall notify the
county of this limitation and the county shall acknowledge this in a letter of support.
EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective for rate years beginning on or after January 1,
2017."

"Section 1. Minnesota Statutes 2014, section 16A.105, is amended to read:
16A.105 DEBT CAPACITY FORECAST; LIMIT.
Subdivision 1. Forecast. In February and November of each year the commissioner shall prepare
a debt capacity forecast to be delivered to the governor and legislature according to section 16A.103,
subdivision 1. The debt capacity forecast must include statements of the indebtedness of the state
for bonds, notes, and other forms of long-term general obligation indebtedness. The forecast must
show the actual amount of the debt service for at least the past two completed fiscal years, and the
estimated amount for the current fiscal year and the next six fiscal years, the debt authorized and
unissued, and the borrowing capacity for the next six fiscal years. The forecast must include the debt
limit determined under subdivision 2.
Subd. 2. Debt limit. (a) For purposes of this subdivision, "debt" means state debt payable from
nondedicated state general fund revenues, including:
(1) state general obligation bonds payable from the general fund;
(2) state appropriation bonds;
(3) agency appropriation bonds payable from a statutory appropriation from the general fund
or other debt issued by the state, a state agency, or the University of Minnesota, payable from a
statutory appropriation of general fund money;
(4) state certificates of participation; and
(5) state lease-purchase financing for acquisition of real estate or equipment payable from the
general fund.

[94TH DAY
(b) The debt limit established in this subdivision applies in addition to any other guideline
adopted or used by the commissioner to prudently manage debt in the state's best interests.
(c) For each forecast under subdivision 1, the commissioner shall determine the maximum
amount of new debt that may be issued so that payment due on all outstanding debt is no more
than three percent of the estimated nondedicated general fund revenue received by the state for
the same time periods. Estimated nondedicated general fund revenue shall exclude transfers into
the general fund from other state funds. The debt limit in this subdivision may only be used to
limit authorization and issuance of new debt after the forecast that indicates the limit will be
exceeded and does not require either reduction in previously authorized debt or cancellation of
appropriations.
EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective for the sale and issuance of debt by the state on
or after July 1, 2017."
