SF812

Purpose

• To repeal the phased-in approach for customized living rates under certain disability-related waivers.

Main Provisions

• Repeals Minnesota Statutes 2024 section 256S.2101 subdivision 1.
• Specifically removes the customized living rate phase-in under the following waivers:
  • Community Access for Disability Inclusion (CADI) waiver
  • Brain Injury Home and Community-Based Services (BI-HCBW) waiver
• The repeal is codified as Section 1 (Repealer), effectively eliminating the rate phase-in mechanism for customized living services under these waivers.

Significant Changes to Existing Law

• Ends the statutory phase-in schedule for customized living rates in the CADI and BI-HCBW waivers.
• Removes the statutory subdivision 1 of 256S.2101, thereby changing how customized living rates are handled under these waivers.
• The bill does not replace the rate framework with a new mechanism in this text; it only repeals the existing phase-in provision.

Plain-language Summary

• This bill is a clean repeal that eliminates the gradual, phased increases used for paying customized living services under two specific disability waivers. Providers and recipients who relied on that phased-in schedule would no longer use that phased process for these services.
