Bill > SF928

This bill modifies several sections of Minnesota law related to children's mental health programs and transportation services. The bill expands grant activities for school-linked behavioral health services to include supporting families in accessing mental health services and supporting parents in caregiving. It also updates nonemergency medical transportation provisions, specifically adding new requirements for transportation of clients under 21 years old. The bill introduces a new definition for "transition to community living services" within children's therapeutic services, which aims to help children maintain continuity of care when moving between different treatment settings like hospitals or residential facilities. Additionally, the bill adds transition to community living services as a covered service component for children's therapeutic services and supports. The legislation includes an appropriation of an unspecified amount to the commissioner of human services for school-linked behavioral health grants in fiscal years 2026 and 2027. Most provisions of the bill are set to take effect on January 1, 2026, and are subject to federal approval for certain transportation-related changes.
