Bill > SF2740

This bill creates a specific licensing exception for certain small-scale community residential settings that provide services to people with brain injuries or disabilities. Specifically, the bill allows the Minnesota commissioner of human services to issue initial licenses for customized living settings located in single-family homes that were operational as of June 30, 2025, and were previously serving individuals under brain injury or community access for disability inclusion waiver plans. The licenses will be granted if the settings comply with all applicable rules and laws, with capacity limited to the number of residents as of June 30, 2025, and not exceeding five people. Eligible providers must apply for these licenses by June 30, 2027, and the commissioner's typical authority to manage and reduce statewide community residential setting capacity will not apply to these specific settings. This provision appears designed to provide continuity of care and housing for a specific group of vulnerable residents by creating a clear path for these existing community living arrangements to maintain their current operations and licensing status. The bill's provisions will become effective on July 1, 2025.
