Aging and disability services, behavioral health, health care, housing and economic supports, and Office of Inspector General provisions modified; language recodified; technical corrections made; and report required.

This bill modifies Minnesota's aging and disability services regulations by updating licensing requirements for foster care and adult foster care homes, particularly regarding where license holders must reside and when new licenses can be issued. It directly affects state agencies, foster care providers, and families seeking placement services by establishing stricter rules about primary residence requirements for license holders and limiting initial licenses for facilities that do not meet specific criteria. Key provisions include a licensing moratorium for certain foster care and community residential settings, with exceptions for homes serving older residents, replacing closed facilities, or addressing hospital-level care needs. The legislation also makes technical corrections to existing statutes and requires a report on implementation, while recodifying certain language for organizational clarity.
