Bill > HF2031

This bill modifies existing Minnesota mental health service regulations by removing the prohibition on providing services to individuals on probation or parole and adding a new requirement for mental health agencies to notify the commissioner of human services about interstate contracts. Specifically, the bill eliminates language that previously prevented persons on probation or parole from accessing certain mental health services, potentially expanding access to mental health treatment for individuals in the criminal justice system. Additionally, the bill introduces a new provision mandating that any mental health, chemical health, or detoxification agency entering into a contract with a bordering state must submit a copy of that contract to the commissioner of human services within 30 days of its effective date, and must also provide copies of any contract amendments within 30 days of their implementation. This change aims to improve transparency and oversight of interstate mental health service agreements while simultaneously reducing barriers to mental health treatment for individuals under probation or parole supervision.
