Legislative working group on intellectual and developmental disabilities creation

This bill creates a new Legislative Working Group on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities in Minnesota to examine gaps in state and county disability services. The 18-member group includes legislators from relevant committees and representatives from two different counties, with meetings open to the public and held at least monthly. The working group will review demographic data and gather input from self-advocates, families, guardians, and counties to assess service availability and delivery. Legislative members receive per-diem compensation according to their chamber rules, while other members are eligible for compensation under state statute. The group must begin its first meeting by August 15, 2026, and will produce a report on its findings.
