Bill > HF2060

This bill extends the timeline for reporting on supported-decision making grants and provides additional funding flexibility. Specifically, the bill modifies a previous law by changing the final reporting deadline from December 1, 2025 to December 1, 2026. The commissioner of human services is required to submit an interim report by December 1, 2024, detailing the number of grants awarded, recipient organizations, and evidence of how these grants help increase the use of supported decision-making approaches, which are alternatives to more restrictive legal arrangements like guardianship. The bill also allows any unexpended funds from the fiscal year 2024 appropriation for supported-decision making programs to be carried over and re-appropriated for the same purpose in fiscal year 2026. Supported decision-making is an approach that helps individuals with disabilities make their own choices by providing them with support and advice from trusted people, rather than removing their legal decision-making rights entirely.
