This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, specifically section 245A.02, to update the definitions related to adult foster care licensing requirements. In subdivision 6c, the term "foster care for adults" is clarified to mean a program that operates 24 hours a day, providing functionally impaired adults with food, lodging, protection, supervision, and household management, as outlined in individual service plans. The previous term "services" has been deleted and replaced with "management" to better reflect the nature of the support provided.

Additionally, subdivision 6f is revised to define a "family adult foster care home" as one that is licensed by the Department of Human Services, serves as the primary residence of the license holder, and where the license holder acts as the primary caregiver. The bill emphasizes that the caregiver must provide the services specified in subdivision 6c, ensuring a clear understanding of the responsibilities involved in operating a family adult foster care home.
