Section 1 (256B.0621, subdivision 10), modifies the relocation targeted case management section of law by adding a cross-reference to section 3, allowing interactive video for relocation case management services, which helps recipients gain access to needed services and supports if they choose to move from an institution to the community.
Section 2 (256B.0625, subdivision 20), adds a cross-reference to section 3 in the mental health targeted case management section of law, to allow contact by interactive video.
Section 3 (256B.0924, subdivision 4a), allows interactive video contact for targeted case management for vulnerable adults and adults with developmental disabilities.
