This bill seeks to amend various sections of Minnesota Statutes to enhance the provision of human services, particularly in the areas of aging, disability, behavioral health, and substance use disorder treatment. A significant change includes the replacement of the term "assessment summary" with "community support plan," which emphasizes the development of individualized plans for clients, particularly those with serious mental illness and children with severe emotional disturbances. The bill mandates that case managers develop, monitor, and review these plans regularly with input from clients and their families, while also outlining the responsibilities of counties in providing mental health services and the appeals process for denied services. Additionally, the bill introduces new definitions and requirements for various services, including adult companion services and intensive support services, and establishes a temporary increase in the counselor-to-client ratio for opioid treatment programs.

Furthermore, the bill addresses the licensing moratoriums for foster care and community residential settings, clarifying conditions under which licenses can be issued. It also enhances the assessment and treatment processes for individuals with substance use disorders, mandating comprehensive assessments within five days of service initiation and ensuring that treatment plans are person-centered and culturally appropriate. The bill introduces new provisions for recovery support services, including qualifications for recovery peers and the scope of practice for recovery community organizations. Overall, the bill aims to improve the quality and accessibility of care for vulnerable populations in Minnesota, streamline administrative processes, and ensure compliance with federal mental health parity laws.
