This bill authorizes a supplementary services rate specifically for mental health facilities located in Winona County, amending Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 256I.05. The new provision, designated as Subdivision 1v, allows a county agency to negotiate a supplementary services rate for up to 53 beds, which is in addition to the existing monthly room and board rate. This rate is capped at $750 per month and includes any legislatively authorized inflationary adjustments.

The supplementary services rate is intended for a housing support provider in Winona County that operates five facilities catering to adults with mental health and substance use disorders. The implementation of this rate is set to begin on July 1, 2025, and aims to enhance the support and resources available for individuals in need of these critical services.
