Bill > SF2356

This bill establishes a new budget exception process within Minnesota's home and community-based services waivers specifically for individuals who have both a developmental disability and type 1 diabetes. Under this provision, the commissioner of human services must create a mechanism that allows these individuals to receive additional funding to support their care needs. The budget exception would provide an annual amount equivalent to nine hours per day of home care nursing at the current registered nurse rate for the relevant waiver program. To qualify, a person must have documentation of both a developmental disability and type 1 diabetes in their assessment. The bill is set to take effect on January 1, 2026, or upon federal approval, whichever occurs later. By creating this specific budget exception, the legislation aims to provide additional financial support for a subset of individuals with complex medical and developmental needs who may require more intensive care and support services.
