This bill mandates the commissioner of human services to develop a proposal to codify integrated community supports within Minnesota Statutes. Specifically, the commissioner is required to draft language that outlines the standards and requirements for these supports as defined in various federally approved waiver plans, including those for brain injury and developmental disabilities.

Additionally, the bill emphasizes the importance of stakeholder engagement in the drafting process. The commissioner must consult with a diverse group of stakeholders, including various associations and individuals with disabilities who are currently or potentially receiving integrated community supports. This consultation process is intended to be transparent and inclusive, allowing for meaningful input. The final draft legislation is to be submitted to the relevant legislative committees by January 1, 2026.
