Human services provisions modified on aging and disability services, behavioral health, licensing and program integrity, mental health licensing, background studies, and forecasted program appropriations adjustments; reports required; and money appropriated.

This bill modifies Minnesota's human services laws to update definitions and procedures for aging and disability services, behavioral health, and licensing. It primarily affects nursing homes, waiver programs, and state agencies by clarifying terms like "assessment reference date" and establishing new rules for determining a resident's need for care starting in 2027. The legislation also amends numerous existing statutes to add new subdivisions and repeal old ones, while setting aside specific funding adjustments and requiring future reports.
