Panel lays over bill to increase public posting period for maltreatment findings from five to ten years
Summary
The committee laid over House File 2305, which would require providers with a substantiated maltreatment finding to have that finding posted on the licensing lookup site for ten years rather than five. The sponsor said the change responds to concerns from affected families.
The Minnesota House Children and Families Committee laid over House File 2305, a bill that would extend the length of time a substantiated maltreatment finding must remain posted on the licensing lookup site from five years to ten years.
Representative West, the bill sponsor, said the proposal was prompted by families who felt current posting windows are too short when maltreatment leads to serious injury. The bill was presented for possible inclusion in an omnibus package and no public testimony was offered at the committee hearing.
Committee members discussed the bill briefly and laid it over for further consideration in omnibus negotiations.
