This bill introduces comprehensive amendments to various sections of Minnesota Statutes, focusing on health care, child welfare, and professional licensing. It establishes new budget provisions for the Departments of Human Services, Health, and Children, Youth, and Families, while introducing fees 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 disclose facility fees to patients, particularly for telehealth services, and requires hospitals to report annually on facility fees charged. Additionally, it enhances the regulatory framework for well and boring contractor licensing, increasing fees and clarifying requirements for environmental wells and geothermal heat exchangers.

Furthermore, the bill addresses mental health services, particularly for children, by updating terminology from "severe emotional disturbance" to "serious mental illness" and establishing new training and reporting requirements for mental health professionals. It introduces a premium subsidy program to assist individuals with health insurance costs and outlines regulations for green burials in cemeteries. The bill also includes provisions for the Minnesota Premium Security Plan, aimed at stabilizing health insurance premiums, and establishes stricter compliance requirements for child welfare programs, including enhanced reporting and accountability measures. Overall, the legislation aims to improve health care access, enhance child welfare services, and streamline professional licensing processes in Minnesota.
