Community first services and supports requirements modifications and consultation services as an optional service under the agency-provider model specification provision

This bill modifies Minnesota's Community First Services and Supports (CFSS) program by allowing consultation services to be offered as an optional service under the agency-provider model. It affects individuals receiving CFSS services and the agencies providing them, giving agencies flexibility to include or exclude consultation services in their service plans. The key change adds consultation services - support to help participants navigate their care - as a voluntary option within the existing agency-provider model structure. This adjustment simplifies service delivery options without altering core requirements for participant choice or care needs.
