Bill > SF3246

This bill modifies the Community First Services and Supports (CFSS) program by making several key changes to service delivery, consultation services, and administrative procedures. The bill clarifies that consultation services are now a required service for the budget model and an optional service for the agency-provider model. It revises the definition of consultation services to mean assisting participants in making informed choices about services and developing a person-centered service delivery plan. The bill allows participants using the agency-provider model to choose whether to use optional consultation services, and if they opt not to use such services, the agency-provider must provide an initial and annual orientation to CFSS information and policies. Additionally, the bill modifies assessment requirements, including provisions for temporary service authorizations, and updates various definitions and administrative procedures related to service delivery. The changes aim to provide more flexibility for participants in choosing and managing their services, while maintaining protections and ensuring appropriate support for individuals using the CFSS program. These modifications are part of Minnesota's efforts to provide more person-centered, flexible home and community-based services for individuals with disabilities or long-term care needs.
