AI Generated Summary

This bill proposes an amendment to Minnesota Statutes, section 256B.4911, to establish a budget exception process for individuals with both developmental disabilities and Type 1 diabetes who receive home and community-based services waivers.

Key Provisions:

  1. Eligibility: Individuals must have both a developmental disability and Type 1 diabetes, as documented in their assessment under section 256B.0911.
  2. Budget Exception Determination:
    • The exception amount will be calculated based on an annualized value.
    • It will be equivalent to the cost of nine hours per day of home care nursing services provided by a registered nurse at the current waiver program rate at the time of application.

Purpose:

The bill aims to provide additional financial support for eligible individuals under the state's consumer-directed community supports (CDCS) program, helping them access necessary home care nursing services.

If enacted, this bill would ensure that individuals with these specific diagnoses receive additional funding to better support their unique medical and personal care needs.
