More Information

Public policy plays a role in all our lives, but people with disabilities are often directly affected by these decisions. With every policy, it is important to ask: Will this enhance or limit:

  • our ability to get around the community?
  • our opportunities for employment?
  • our options for home care support?
  • our independence?

Uninformed policy often has unintended consequences.

The March 2023 Legislative Forum Listening Session is an opportunity for Minnesotans with disabilities to:

  • share their perspectives
  • provide input on issues and policies that impact them

Your input will help us to better advise the state government on disability issues. Please review our and Bill Tracking page to catch up on how we are advancing disability-related policy during legislative session.
