REMOTE: [UPDATE Thursday, May 11 at 6:13 PM] The Court sent the attorneys information about how to view the hearing remotely, but there are only 90 spots available for remote viewers. Because of the limited number of remote viewing spots, the Court has ordered that those spots be reserved for people living in group homes using waiver funding in Minnesota. We apologize for the lack of access and exclusion. We will be working with community organizations, state and federal agencies, and community members to figure out a better way to ensure consistent and reliable remote access to public events. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work on this.
ACCOMMODATIONS: Help us request virtual participation for our community members!
