Minnesota. Dept. of Public Welfare.

From 1971 to 1983, the reimbursement procedures for intermediate care facilities for the mentally retarded (ICF/MRs) were governed by Department of Public Welfare Rule 52. This rule was widely criticized and there was pressure for its revision. The Department of Public Welfare (DPW) was dissatisfied with the spending and legal appeals generated by the rule. Providers complained about its ambiguity. The February 11, 1983 Legislative Audit Committee report recommended major changes, as did an internal DPW Rule 52 task force.

Early in 1983, the Minnesota legislature gave the DPW temporary rulemaking and revisionary authority concerning Rule 52 through September 30, 1983 [Laws 1983 c312]. That summer, DPW staff worked on several revisions of Rule 52 (known as Temporary Rule 53). Drafts were distributed for review and comment among representatives of the mental health field. Through their comments and numerous meetings, substantive changes were made in the proposed Rule 53. The proposed Rule 53 was published in the State Register on November 14, 1983, was approved by the Attorney General's office, and took effect on January 1, 1984.
