This bill introduces comprehensive amendments to various sections of Minnesota Statutes, primarily focusing on health and human services, child welfare, and mental health provisions. It establishes new fee structures for health maintenance organizations, including a $10,000 application fee and a $30,000 annual renewal fee, effective January 1, 2026. The bill also mandates that health care providers cannot charge facility fees for specific services at provider-based clinics, enhances transparency in health care billing, and requires hospitals to notify patients about potential facility fees. Additionally, it introduces a unique National Provider Identifier for provider-based clinics and establishes reporting requirements for hospitals regarding facility fees.

In the realm of child welfare, the bill emphasizes the best interests of children in foster care, introducing stricter disqualification criteria for potential foster parents and establishing the African American Child and Family Well-Being Advisory Council to address disparities in child welfare outcomes. It also enhances mental health services by updating terminology related to mental health conditions, requiring case management services for individuals with serious mental illness, and establishing new funding programs for mental health initiatives. The bill aims to improve the overall quality and accessibility of health and human services in Minnesota while ensuring compliance with federal regulations and promoting accountability in service delivery.
