Bill > HF1380

This bill addresses several key provisions related to psychiatric residential treatment facilities in Minnesota. First, it modifies an existing grant program by reducing the funding for psychiatric residential treatment facility start-up grants from $1,000,000 to $800,000 in fiscal year 2025. The bill then directs the Commissioner of Human Services to establish a minimum per diem rate of at least $1,800 for the Clay County psychiatric residential treatment facility, which is a specialized facility providing mental health services to individuals under 21 years old. The legislation provides a $1,000,000 appropriation in fiscal year 2026 to support Clay County's conversion of the West Central Regional Juvenile Center's nonsecure unit into an 18-bed psychiatric residential treatment facility, specifically for equipment purchase, redesign, and remodeling. Additionally, the bill allocates $1,000,000 in each of fiscal years 2026 and 2027 for psychiatric residential treatment facility start-up and capacity-building grants, with $200,000 specifically designated for Clay County in fiscal year 2026 to support their new facility's development. These provisions aim to enhance mental health treatment options and infrastructure for young people in Minnesota by providing financial support and establishing minimum funding standards for specialized treatment facilities.
