&lt;h4&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Remembering Bud Rosenfield
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-size: 11px; font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;It is with deeply heavy hearts that we share on July 10th, we learned that our Ombudsman, Bud Rosenfield, had passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. &lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;h4&gt; &lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Though Bud had only served as the Ombudsman for Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities since December of 2021, his impact on our office, staff, clients, and stakeholders was immeasurable.  While his time as Ombudsman was far too brief, his advocacy career as a champion of the rights of people with disabilities spanned decades.  He was dogged in his efforts to promote and enforce the rights, community inclusion, and informed choice of people with all types of disabilities.  &lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;h4&gt; &lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Bud will be dearly missed at OMHDD and throughout the disability advocacy community.  His career in service to people with disabilities, the passion and energy he brought to his work, and the profound impact he had on both the broader service system and those of us lucky enough to work with him is unmatched.  He will be deeply missed by many.  For those of us fortunate enough to know him, he will be remembered not just for his professional accomplishments, but for his kind heart, generous nature, and quick wit.  Our hearts and prayers go out to Bud’s family and friends as they grieve his profound and unexpected loss.  &lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;h4&gt; &lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;The world is a bit dimmer without you in it, Bud, but your legacy lives on as we continue your efforts promoting justice, inclusion, dignity, and choice for people with disabilities.  &lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Effective December 7, 2021, Governor Tim Walz and Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan appointed Barnett (Bud) Rosenfield as the Ombudsman for Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities (OMHDD).  In announcing the appointment, Governor Walz said, “I am honored to appoint Bud Rosenfield as the Ombudsman for Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities.  Mr. Rosenfield is a dedicated public servant with a proven track record as a passionate advocate for justice. I am confident that he will use his knowledge, experience, and role to create a more just, inclusive, and equitable Minnesota.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lieutenant Governor Flanagan added, “Throughout his career, Bud Rosenfield has worked to ensure all Minnesotans are treated with the dignity, compassion, and respect they deserve. I have no doubt that Mr. Rosenfield’s deep commitment to the people of Minnesota will strengthen the Office of Ombudsman for Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities.”  Please see the Governor’s and Lieutenant Governor’s announcement at &lt;a href=&quot;https://mn.gov/governor/news/#/detail/appId/1/id/508921&quot; title=&quot;Walz, Flanagan Announce Appointment to the Office of Ombudsman for Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;News / Office of Governor Tim Walz and Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan (mn.gov)&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;About Bud
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Although born and raised on the East Coast, Bud has family roots in Minnesota.  His mother grew up on the Iron Range and went to nursing school at the U.  After receiving his bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan, Bud moved to Minnesota and attended the U for law school.   He has since spent his entire professional career here.  He clerked for the Honorable Harriet Lansing, served as the staff coordinator for the state’s Special District Apportionment Panel, and represented individuals in private practice in employment law and civil rights cases.  For most of his career, Bud has represented people who have disabilities, first as an attorney and then as supervisor with the Minnesota Disability Law Center.  His appointment as Ombudsman for Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities reflects his commitment to and passion for doing protection and advocacy work and promoting disability rights and justice.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I feel privileged and am deeply humbled by the opportunity to work with the talented and dedicated OMHDD staff,” Bud stated.  “Responding to and helping resolve individual complaints, conducting death and serious injury reviews, while also identifying systemic issues and opportunities for improvement in the facilities, services, and programs serving people with disabilities – the depth, range, and quality of the work OMHDD staff collectively does is truly impressive.  I am excited about helping to contribute to and lead OMHDD’s client services, medical reviews, and advocacy work.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Recognition: Roberta Opheim &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For over 28 years, OMHDD was led by Roberta Opheim, who retired last summer.  Roberta was universally respected and revered for her compassion, her commitment to disability rights and justice, and her deep knowledge and expertise regarding the history and laws pertaining to the services, programs, and systems that serve people who have disabilities.  As Bud notes, “It’s hard for advocates and other stakeholders to think of OMHDD without picturing Roberta; they’re synonymous.  I worked, collaborated, and consulted often with Roberta over the years.  Whether she was advocating for better early intervention mental health services for children, overseeing OMHDD’s investigation and report on the excessive and inappropriate use of restraints at the former METO program in Cambridge, or pushing for more robust integration goals and policies in Minnesota’s &lt;em&gt;Olmstead&lt;/em&gt; plan, everyone recognized Roberta as a pivotal leader on disability issues.  Her influence and ability to get things done over the past three decades were unparalleled.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;OMHDD staff who worked closely with Roberta echoed these sentiments.  Deputy Ombudsman, Lisa Harrison-Hadler, commented that “Roberta’s tireless advocacy on behalf of our clients has forever changed the landscape of services for people with disabilities in Minnesota.   She is an inspiration to those of us at OMHDD who had the honor of working with her, and her immeasurable impact on the agency, our staff, and our clients will continue long after her well-deserved retirement.”  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;About the Office of Ombudsman for Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Office of Ombudsman for Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities protects the rights of Minnesotans through individual and systemic advocacy. OMHDD is charged with promoting the highest attainable standards of treatment, competence, efficiency, and justice for persons receiving services for mental illness, developmental disabilities, chemical dependency, or emotional disturbance. OMHDD oversees work done by state agencies, local school districts, and county social service agencies that monitor, provide, or regulate services or treatment to clients. OMHDD also oversees work done by programs and facilities licensed, registered, or certified by the Department of Human Services or Minnesota Department of Health providing services for mental health, developmental disabilities, chemical dependency, and/or emotional disturbance. More information about OMHDD can be found at &lt;a href=&quot;https://mn.gov/omhdd/about-us/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://mn.gov/omhdd/about-us/.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In May 2019, Governor Walz signed into law the Elder Care and Vulnerable Adult Protection Act of 2019. This law requires current assisted living providers who want to continue to operate after August 1, 2021 to obtain a new assisted living facility license. The assisted living licensure requirements are found in Minnesota Chapter 144G. This fact sheet explains the new assisted living license and how the transition to the new licensing system will impact you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Settings that are transitioning to the assisted living license are called housing with services establishments. Currently, a housing with services establishment and an arranged home care provider separately provide housing and services to an assisted living resident. The new assisted living licensure law combines a resident’s housing and assisted living services under one license. As of August 1, 2021, a housing with services establishment and an arranged home care provider can no longer separately provide housing and services to an assisted living resident. The laws authorizing housing with service establishments are going away on August 1, 2021 and being replaced with the new assisted living licensure law.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom:3.75pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:10.5pt;color:black&quot;&gt;Dear Colleague:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom:3.75pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:10.5pt;color:black&quot;&gt;Today, I signed Executive Order 20-33 to extend the Stay at Home Order until May 4. This means bars, restaurants, and non-essential businesses will remain closed throughout the state for another three weeks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom:3.75pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:10.5pt;color:black&quot;&gt;This is not a decision we made lightly. Every day these businesses remain closed is another day of economic hardship for individuals, families, and communities. It is, however, necessary and is supported by the best science and analysis we can bring to bear. While Minnesotans are doing a great job staying home and are successfully pushing out and flattening the peak of COVID-19, the fight is far from over and we need to keep going. Even a slight lessening of our efforts in this area could bend the trajectory of this outbreak to a very different and unwelcome situation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom:3.75pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:10.5pt;color:black&quot;&gt;In reaching this decision, my office and agency leaders, consulted national and Minnesota experts. We also noted that most other states have extended their stay-at-home orders and that the federal government recently extended nationwide social distancing guidelines for another 30 days. Minnesota’s Department of Health and the hospitals across our state also recommend this extension.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom:3.75pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:10.5pt;color:black&quot;&gt;The work you and your colleagues do has never been more important and we have never been more proud to be Minnesotans: across the breadth of state government, our teams have proven ready and resilient and have remained dedicated and mission-focused on providing much-needed services to Minnesotans. From the parents who are juggling working at home to our front-line employees who must go to the worksite to keep our critical 24/7 and customer-facing operations running. Truly and without any attempt at hyperbole, you are heroes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom:3.75pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:10.5pt;color:black&quot;&gt;As we move forward with the stay-at-home extension, you will receive more information about what it means for you and your agency. Minnesota Management and Budget and your leaders remain committed to ensuring your safety, the safety of your colleagues, and of our community. In support of that commitment to safety, it’s important to remember the following:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;calibri,arial,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Soon, you may start seeing advertisements about the 2020 Census. DHHSD and MNCDHH are working together to provide accessible information about the census, and why it is important.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;calibri,arial,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;We have created a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;a style=&quot;font-family: calibri, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;&quot; href=&quot;https://youtu.be/_SsSiUT8mNc&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;video in both ASL and English&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;font face=&quot;calibri,arial,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;with English voiceover and captions,&lt;/font&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: calibri, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;about the census&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: calibri, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;calibri,arial,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;The U.S. Constitution requires a census every 10 years. A census counts the number of people in every state. These numbers are used to make many decisions.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;calibri,arial,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 18pt;&quot;&gt;Why is it important to fill out the census? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;calibri,arial,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;The number of people in Minnesota decides many things, including:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;calibri,arial,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;How many representatives Minnesota has in the U.S. House of Representatives.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;calibri,arial,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;State legislative district boundaries and school district boundaries.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;calibri,arial,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;How over $675 million dollars in federal funding will be spent. This includes spending on housing programs, education and programs that support families.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;calibri,arial,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Local government and businesses also use the census numbers to decide where to open new stores, hospitals, or improve transportation. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;calibri,arial,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 18pt;&quot;&gt;Your answers are private!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;calibri,arial,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;The law says the Census Bureau must keep your information confidential. The Census Bureau cannot share details with anyone – including the White House, the government, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and police.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;calibri,arial,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;The law also says the details must remain confidential for 72 years. After 72 years, census records become public. Old census records are a popular tool for people researching the history of their own families. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;calibri,arial,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 18pt;&quot;&gt;What will the census ask? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;calibri,arial,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;The census will ask you questions about who lives at your address. See some examples of the questions on our website and in the video.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;calibri,arial,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Important! The census will &lt;strong&gt;NOT&lt;/strong&gt; ask you: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;calibri,arial,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Your citizenship status.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;calibri,arial,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Your social security number&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;calibri,arial,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Your bank account information. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;calibri,arial,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Your political beliefs. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;div&gt;The right to vote lies at the heart of our nation’s founding principles – it is the bedrock of our democracy. Every citizen who can vote should have the opportunity to exercise their civic right, including those living with behavioral health conditions. This year, community mental health and addiction treatment centers have the unique opportunity to engage everyone in their centers, including clients, in nonpartisan voter registration and education.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;In 2020, elected officials across state and federal ballots will be asking for your vote. They will be asking their fellow citizens to elect them to office to make needed change in our communities and our country. It is critical that you and your clients’ needs are understood and voices are heard in politics and at the ballot box.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

In this capacity Paul also had oversight of the Client Services section of the OMHDD, in addition to his previous functions. Paul has been a very integral part of the OMHDD and will be greatly missed by the staff. He was always working to improve services for the clients of the office and keeping the office running smoothly. We wish him the very best in his retirement.&lt;/p&gt;

Lisa came to the OMHDD from the Southeastern MN Center for Independent Living (SEMCIL) where she was the &lt;span style=&quot;color:black&quot;&gt;Community Advocacy/Development Manager&lt;/span&gt;. One of Lisa’s accomplishments at SEMCIL was to create and implement an advocacy program that SEMCIL still operates today, along with other management functions.&lt;/p&gt;

This means that people with mental illnesses would have better coverage because it will be treated like primary care. To better understand the impact of this new law, the Department of Commerce is seeking public feedback. NAMI members and supporters are encouraged to participate in this study and share how removing deductibles from the first four outpatient mental health visits will improve their lives. We know that many people avoid necessary mental health treatment due to cost. NAMI Minnesota hopes that removing out-of-pocket costs for the first four visits will eliminate financial barriers to accessing treatment and will encourage people to seek mental health treatment before they require a higher level of care.
