Take the MCD Legislative Priorities Survey
Every year, MCD requests your input to fully understand the legislative priorities statewide. As we make plans for the 2026 Legislative session, your input is critical.
This survey is designed to reflect the issues we consistently hear are most important to people with disabilities. It invites more in-depth responses while remaining easy to complete. The survey is five pages long and should take only 10 to 15 minutes. It’s organized by topic, so you can quickly choose the issues that matter most to you. We also invite you to share your stories and tell us how these issues affect you and your community. Take the MCD Legislative Priorities Survey.

We support and promote public policy goals that positively impact the lives of people with disabilities. MCD helps policymakers understand how their decisions affect the disability community and brings together members of the government and the public to comment on legislation.
The Minnesota Legislature introduces dozens of bills each session that affect people with disabilities. Some bills aim to improve lives, while others may negatively impact the disability community. To help you stay informed, we maintain this list of disability-related bills.
There are over half a million valid disability parking certificates and plates in Minnesota. We provide the “Do’s and Don’ts” of disability parking, as well as information on disability parking laws and regulations.
A service animal is a dog, or in some cases a miniature horse, individually trained to do work or perform tasks for someone with a disability. Service animals are different from Emotional Support Animals (ESA) and can go almost anywhere with their owners. MCD works to inform the public about service animals and protect the rights of people with disabilities.
