This bill establishes a Civil Commitment Coordinating Division within the Office of the Attorney General in Minnesota, appointing a civil commitment coordinator responsible for various duties related to civil commitment processes. The coordinator will maintain the Civil Commitment Advisory Committee, provide guidance on best practices for engagement services, outpatient civil commitment, and provisional discharge, and advocate for increased statewide capacity in these areas. The bill also outlines the committee's composition, which includes representatives from various sectors, including the attorney general's office, treatment facilities, and individuals with personal experience in civil commitment.

Additionally, the bill introduces grant programs aimed at supporting counties in conducting diversion studies and expanding their capacity for engagement services, outpatient civil commitment, and provisional discharge. Counties will be required to submit reports on their diversion studies and grant activities, and the civil commitment coordinator will evaluate the impact of these programs. The bill includes appropriations for the Civil Commitment Coordinating Division, diversion study grants, and engagement services grants for fiscal years 2026 and 2027, ensuring funding for the implementation of these initiatives.
