   Minnesota's 2013 Individual Providers of Direct Support Services 
   Representation Act, extending Minnesota's Public Employment Labor 
   Relations Act to persons who provide in-home care to disabled Medicaid 
   recipients does not violate the homecare providers' freedom of association 
   under the First and Fourteenth Amendments and does not unconstitutionally 
   compel them to associate with the exclusive bargaining representative.
