Bill Summary

A bill for an act relating to human services; appropriating money for a youth mental health urgency room in Ramsey County.

AI Summary

This bill appropriates $3.2 million total ($1.6 million in each of fiscal years 2026 and 2027) from the Minnesota state general fund to the commissioner of human services, specifically to provide a grant to Ramsey County for continuing the operation of a youth mental health urgency room. The urgency room was originally established through legislation passed in 2022 (Laws 2022, chapter 99, article 1, section 44), and this bill ensures continued funding for its ongoing operations. A youth mental health urgency room is typically a specialized medical facility designed to provide immediate, short-term mental health support and assessment for young people experiencing acute mental health challenges, offering an alternative to traditional emergency room settings and helping to address youth mental health needs more effectively and compassionately.
