Public Policy
We support public policy that improves the lives of Minnesotans with disabilities. MCD helps policymakers understand how their decisions affect the disability community. To do that work, we bring together government and community members to share input on proposed legislation.
Legislative Bill Tracker
Each session, the Minnesota Legislature introduces dozens of bills that affect people with disabilities. Some bills would expand access or services, while others could reduce supports or add barriers. To help you stay informed, we maintain this bill tracker focused on disability issues.
Disability Parking
Minnesota has more than 500,000 valid disability parking certificates and plates. MCD explains disability parking rules in plain language. We cover the do’s and don’ts, plus key laws and requirements.
Service Animals
A service animal is a dog, or sometimes a miniature horse, that is trained to perform tasks for someone with a disability. Service animals are generally allowed in places open to the public, even where pets are not. MCD shares guidance about service animals and the rights of people who use them.
