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 related to brain injury, disability inclusion, community alternative care, and developmental disabilities.

Additionally, the bill emphasizes the importance of stakeholder consultation during the drafting process. The commissioner must engage 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 allow for meaningful input. The final draft legislation is to be submitted to the relevant legislative committees by January 1, 2026.
