Governor's Council on an Age-Friendly Minnesota conversion into the Age-Friendly Minnesota Council, codifying existing grants, and appropriation

SF 2630 converts the Governor's Council on an Age-Friendly Minnesota into the permanent "Age-Friendly Minnesota Council" and codifies existing grant programs. The bill establishes a 15-member council with voting members from state agencies (like Health, Human Services, and Transportation) and six public members appointed by the governor to represent older adults, caregivers, Tribal communities, and underserved areas. The council's duties include coordinating age-friendly efforts across state agencies, reviewing grants, promoting equity for older adults of color and Indigenous communities, and making policy recommendations. The bill also appropriates funding to support the council's operations and ensures regular meetings with public participation options.
