Standard for determining the residence of an individual subject to a civil commitment order established.

HF 1840 amends Minnesota Statutes section 200.031 to establish a specific standard for determining the residence of individuals under civil commitment orders. It states that such individuals' residence is defined as their last known residential address prior to the commitment order, rather than their current location in a facility. This change directly affects people subject to civil commitment under chapters 253B or 253D of Minnesota law. The bill updates the existing voting residence rules to clarify that commitment status does not automatically change an individual's voting residence. This is a technical amendment to existing election law, not a new policy.
