The bill establishes the Healthy Aging Subcabinet within Minnesota Management and Budget, aimed at ensuring that all individuals in Minnesota age with dignity and have equitable access to health and well-being. The subcabinet will be responsible for creating a Minnesota Healthy Aging Plan, which will involve public participation to address challenges related to aging and promote healthy aging initiatives. The director of the subcabinet, appointed by the governor, will oversee operations, engage with various stakeholders, and ensure that the perspectives of older adults and caregivers are included in policy recommendations.

Additionally, the bill creates a Citizens' Engagement Council to provide diverse input from older adults, caregivers, and other stakeholders on aging-related programs and policies. The council will help inform the Minnesota Healthy Aging Plan and ensure that the voices of older Minnesotans are heard. The bill also includes an appropriation of $1.7 million for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to support the implementation of these initiatives. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance the quality of life for older adults in Minnesota through coordinated planning and community engagement.
