Summary of HF 2060 (Minnesota)

Overview

HF 2060 is a human services bill introduced on March 10, 2025, with a focus on funded programs that provide supported decision-making. The bill’s title indicates it would extend the availability of grants for supported-decision making programs and appropriate funds to support those programs. The companion bill is SF 2310.

Purpose and Intent

  • Expand and extend access to grants for programs that assist individuals in making decisions with support (supported decision making).
  • Likely aims to promote autonomy and person-centered decision making for individuals who may otherwise rely on guardianship or substitute decision makers.
  • May seek to provide financial resources to organizations or programs that operate supported-decision making services.

Note: The full legislative text is needed to confirm the precise aims, eligibility criteria, and scope.

Key Provisions (as suggested by the title; specifics to be confirmed in the bill text)

  • Extension of grant programs: The bill appears to authorize continued or extended availability of grants for supported-decision making programs.
  • Appropriations: The bill would allocate state funds to support these grants, through a designated agency (typically the Department of Human Services or a related body).
  • Administrative framework: Likely to establish program administration details (grant cycles, applicants, evaluation, reporting), though exact language is not yet public.
  • Accountability and reporting: Potential requirements for grantees to report on outcomes, use of funds, and program impact.
  • Sunsetting or renewal: Possible renewal terms or sunset provisions common to grant programs, to be verified in the bill text.

Because the full bill text isn’t provided here, these provisions are inferred from the title and typical structure of similar grant-extension/appropriation bills.

Who Would Be Affected

  • Beneficiaries: Individuals who would use supported-decision making services (including people with disabilities, older adults, and others seeking alternatives to guardianship).
  • Service providers: Organizations and programs delivering supported-decision making services that would receive grants.
  • State agencies: Likely the Minnesota Department of Human Services (or another specified agency) responsible for administering grants, managing applications, and reporting.
