Student Basic Needs Advisory Council established, and report required.

HF 3086 establishes a Student Basic Needs Advisory Council to address housing and food insecurity among college students in Minnesota. The council, composed of 12 members (eight appointed by the commissioner and four student representatives from key student organizations), will advise on assessments and propose policy changes to improve student support. It requires the council to develop a two-year work plan every odd-numbered year and the commissioner to submit a biennial report to the legislature on student needs, assessment results, and recommended actions. The council will operate until 2033, focusing on concrete policy improvements for students facing basic needs challenges.
