David Dively of MCD Provides Some Updates

Representative Brion Curran recently highlighted their legislative efforts to enhance services for Minnesotans with disabilities at the 2025 MCD Legislative Forum. We spoke with David Dively of the MCD about some of these policies.

They emphasized bipartisan legislation addressing significant issues, including House File 2406, which aims to reduce delays caused by the MnCHOICES assessment backlog.

House File 2004 ensures access to critical support services for individuals traveling or studying outside Minnesota.

We then focused in more on the potential legislative changes that could effect the Disabled Veteran population in Minnesota.

Additionally, House File 382 enhances the Disability Waiver Rate System by increasing the competitive workforce factor. This would ultimately improve the quality of care and expand career opportunities for people serving the disability community.

David Dively informs us on ways to contact the Minnesota Council on Disability with questions or proposals for legislation.
