Bill > HF98

This bill makes several technical modifications to Minnesota's mental health and behavioral health service regulations, focusing on case management, supervision requirements, client rights, and reporting standards. The bill reduces continuing education hours for case manager associates from 40 to 20 annually and supervision hours from five to four per month, adjusts supervision requirements for mental health rehabilitation workers and behavioral aides, and exempts certain intensive residential treatment services from specific client rights provisions. The legislation also modifies critical incident reporting requirements for residential programs, extends the timeline for intensive residential treatment services level of care assessments from five to ten days, and allows adult mental health case managers to conduct some contacts via secure electronic messages. Additionally, the bill updates assertive community treatment team staffing requirements and clarifies documentation and communication standards for mental health case management services. These changes aim to streamline administrative processes, provide more flexible service delivery options, and potentially address workforce challenges in mental health service provision.
