This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 256I.04, subdivision 2b, to modify the authority of agencies regarding housing support agreements. It requires that these agreements be in writing and include specific details such as the provider's licensing information, the number of beds, and the rates to be paid from housing support funds. Additionally, it mandates that providers verify certain minimum requirements, including staff qualifications and the provision of housing support 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 specific criteria. These criteria include the type of publicly funded program a potential resident may be enrolled in and the characteristics of the establishment, such as size or location, as long as they are not prohibited under existing law. This aims to ensure broader access to housing support for eligible residents.
