This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 245.50, to allow individuals on probation or parole to access certain mental health services, which was previously prohibited. Specifically, the bill removes the restriction that barred individuals on probation or parole from receiving these services, thereby expanding access to mental health support for this population.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new subdivision that requires Minnesota mental health, chemical health, or detoxification agencies or facilities to notify the commissioner of human services when entering into contracts with bordering states. Agencies must provide a copy of the contract within 30 days of its effective date and must also submit copies of any amendments within the same timeframe. This aims to enhance oversight and ensure that the state is informed about inter-state agreements related to mental health services.
