     245C.25 Consolidated reconsideration of maltreatment 
  determination and disqualification. 

    (a) If an individual is disqualified on the basis of a 
 determination of maltreatment under section 626.556 or 626.557, 
 which was serious or recurring, and the individual requests 
 reconsideration of the maltreatment determination under section 
 626.556, subdivision 10i, or 626.557, subdivision 9d, and also 
 requests reconsideration of the disqualification under section 
 245C.21, the commissioner shall consolidate the reconsideration 
 of the maltreatment determination and the disqualification into 
 a single reconsideration. 

    (b) For maltreatment and disqualification determinations 
 made by county agencies, the county agency shall conduct the 
 consolidated reconsideration.  If the county agency has 
 disqualified an individual on multiple bases, one of which is a 
 county maltreatment determination for which the individual has a 
 right to request reconsideration, the county shall conduct the 
 reconsideration of all disqualifications. 

    (c) If the county has previously conducted a consolidated 
 reconsideration under paragraph (b) of a maltreatment 
 determination and a disqualification based on serious or 
 recurring maltreatment, and the county subsequently disqualifies 
 the individual based on that determination, the county shall 
 conduct the reconsideration of the subsequent disqualification.  
 The scope of the subsequent disqualification shall be limited to 
 whether the individual poses a risk of harm in accordance with 
 section 245C.22, subdivision 4.
