The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 124D.19, subdivision 8, to modify the approval process for community education programs serving adults with disabilities. Beginning July 1, 2024, school districts will be required to have their adults with disabilities programs reviewed and approved by an advisory council at least once every five years. The new language emphasizes the importance of seeking feedback from adults with disabilities and community organizations that provide services to this population.

Additionally, the bill mandates that each school district with an adults with disabilities program include specific information about the program in its annual community education report. This includes details about the program's objectives, participation by adults with disabilities in its development, and an assessment of their needs. The effective date for these changes is set for July 1, 2024, for plans developed on or after that date.
