Bill > SF2943

This bill appropriates $3.4 million from Minnesota's general fund to the commissioner of human services specifically for Dakota County to develop and implement mental health crisis services in fiscal year 2026. The funding is designated for a range of mental health support programs, including mobile crisis response teams that can go directly to people in crisis, crisis follow-up and stabilization services to help individuals after an initial crisis intervention, and embedded social workers who will work alongside local public safety agencies to provide immediate mental health support. The appropriation is considered a one-time funding allocation, meaning it is not expected to be a recurring annual expenditure. By providing these targeted services, the bill aims to enhance mental health crisis support in Dakota County, potentially improving outcomes for individuals experiencing mental health emergencies and reducing strain on emergency and law enforcement resources.
