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 any Minnesota mental health, chemical health, or detoxification agency or facility that enters into a contract with a bordering state to notify the commissioner of human services. They must provide a copy of the contract within 30 days of its effective date, and any amendments to the contract must also be submitted within 30 days of their effective date. This provision aims to enhance oversight and ensure that the state is informed about inter-state agreements related to mental health services.
