On October 22, the Olmstead Planning Committee issued its report titled “The Promise of Olmstead: Recommendations of the Olmstead Planning Committee.” On December 1, 2011, the Jensen Lawsuit (METO) was settled in Judge Donovan Frank’s federal district court. One of the stipulations of the settlement was that the state of Minnesota needed to write an Olmstead Plan that would address how Minnesota was going to address the desires of individuals with disabilities living in institutions to live in the community. You can find the report on Minnesota’s Olmstead Planning Committee’s website under “Other Documents”.
If you have comments or suggestions about the findings, please contact the Minnesota Olmstead Planning Committee via its website comment form.
