Section 2 (Direction to the commissioner) directs the commissioner to seek a waiver to the brain injury waiver to include persons with a diagnosis of a fetal alcohol spectrum disorder.

Section 3 (Appropriation) appropriates $500,000 per year ongoing to the Minnesota Organization on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome for pass-through grants to regional collaboratives that provide services to pregnant women and families that reduce incidents of fetal alcohol syndrome disorders and other drug-related effects in infants and children.
