SF 4309 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Definition modification for adult foster care licensing requirements

This bill modifies the legal definitions for adult foster care licensing in Minnesota to clarify what services and arrangements qualify for licensing. It directly affects adult foster care providers and the Department of Human Services by updating how programs are described in state law. The changes specify that adult foster care must provide 24-hour care including food, lodging, protection, supervision, and household management, while defining a family adult foster care home as a licensed residence where the owner lives and serves as the primary caregiver. These updates aim to ensure consistency in how adult foster care services are regulated and categorized under Minnesota statutes.
