Art. 2, Sec. 30, amends Minn. Stat. § 256B.0917, by adding a subd. 7a to<br />

authorize the Commissioner of Human Services to contract with “core home and<br />

community-based services providers” to provide services and supports to older<br />

adults both with and without family and other informal caregivers. A “core home<br />

and community-based services provider” is a Faith in Action, Living at Home<br />

Block Nurse, Congregational Nurse, or similar community-based program that<br />

organizes and uses volunteers and paid staff to deliver nonmedical services<br />

intended to assist older adults to identify and manage risks and to maintain their<br />

community living and integration in the community. This term is defined in the<br />

new subd. 1b, added to Minn. Stat. § 256B.0917 by Art. 2, Sec. 27 of the<br />

<strong>Conference</strong> Report.<br />

Art. 2, Sec. 44 states that “This article is contingent on federal approval.” Article<br />

2 is captioned “Contingent Reform 2020; Redesigning Home and Community-<br />

Based Services.” It appears, therefore, that none of the foregoing amendments are<br />

effective until CMS approves the pending Reform 2020 Waiver Request.<br />

in their homes with volunteers and local communities providing needed services rather than<br />

government programs paying professional providers for care in the home or in other facilities.<br />
