This bill aims to enhance the funding for residential substance use disorder treatment providers in Minnesota by amending existing statutes. Specifically, it modifies Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 254B.12, subdivision 3, to clarify that certain services not eligible for a previous rate increase will receive a one percent increase based on the rates effective January 1, 2017.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new subdivision (Subd. 5) to section 254B.12, which mandates a significant 50 percent increase in payment rates for specific residential substance use disorder services, effective for services provided on or after July 1, 2025. This increase applies to services outlined in section 254B.05, subdivision 5, paragraph (b), clauses (1), (6), (8), (9), and (10), for vendors that meet the requirements of section 254B.05.
