Minnesota is extending a licensing pause to adult day care centers, citing more provider capacity than current and projected demand. The Department of Human Services says the two-year pause is expected to run from February first of 2026 through January thirty-first of 2028. During that time, the state will stop accepting new adult day center license applications and cancel those already pending. Officials say the move will free up resources to focus on oversight of existing providers and help prevent fraud. More information is available on the Minnesota Department of Human Services website.
