Human services provisions modifications
This bill modifies Minnesota's human services laws to update definitions and processes for aging and disability services, behavioral health, and program licensing. It primarily affects residents of nursing facilities, waiver program participants, and the state agencies that fund and regulate these services. Key provisions include clarifying how a resident's need for care is assessed for payment purposes and establishing a new assessment method effective in 2027. The legislation also amends numerous existing statutes to align with these updated requirements and authorizes specific funding adjustments.
