This bill establishes a Civil Commitment Coordinating Division within the Office of the Attorney General in Minnesota, which will be responsible for overseeing civil commitment processes and improving engagement services. The division will be led by a civil commitment coordinator appointed by the attorney general, who will maintain a Civil Commitment Advisory Committee to provide guidance on best practices and data collection related to civil commitment. The coordinator will also advocate for increased capacity for engagement services and administer various grant programs aimed at enhancing local treatment options for individuals with mental health issues.

Additionally, the bill mandates counties to conduct diversion studies to assess their behavioral health systems' capacity to divert individuals with mental illnesses or substance use disorders from the justice system into treatment. It requires counties to submit reports on their findings and establishes grant programs to support counties in expanding their engagement services and treatment capacities. The bill includes appropriations for the Civil Commitment Coordinating Division, diversion study grants, and engagement services, outpatient civil commitment, and provisional discharge grants, ensuring funding is allocated to support these initiatives effectively.
