The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 256I.04, subdivision 2b, to modify the authority of agencies regarding housing support agreements. It specifies that these agreements must be in writing and include detailed information about the provider, such as their licensing status, the number of beds, and the rates for housing support. Additionally, it outlines minimum requirements that providers must verify in the agreement, including staff qualifications and the provision of supplementary services. The bill also clarifies the conditions under which agreements can be terminated, allowing for termination with two months' notice.

Furthermore, the bill introduces new provisions that prevent agencies from refusing to enter into housing support agreements based solely on certain criteria. Specifically, agencies cannot limit the availability of agreements based on the type of publicly funded program a potential resident may be enrolled in or the characteristics of the establishment, such as size or location, as long as they are not otherwise prohibited. This aims to ensure broader access to housing support services for eligible residents.
