Bill > HF1978

This bill establishes a new budget exception process for individuals with both developmental disabilities and type 1 diabetes in Minnesota's home and community-based services waivers. Specifically, the bill requires the state commissioner of human services to create a process that provides additional funding for people who have both diagnoses documented in their official assessment. The budget exception will provide an annualized amount equivalent to nine hours per day at the current registered nurse home care nursing rate under the applicable waiver program. The provision is designed to provide extra financial support to help people with these complex health conditions manage their care needs more effectively. The bill will take effect on January 1, 2026, or upon federal approval, whichever occurs later, and the commissioner is required to notify the revisor of statutes once federal approval is obtained.
