Mental illness definition modified, changes to medical assistance transportation reimbursement rates made, grant program for children at risk of bipolar disorder established, report required, children's first episode of psychosis program funding provided, and money appropriated.
This bill updates Minnesota's legal definition of "mental illness" to clarify criteria for determining serious mental health conditions. It changes reimbursement rates for medical transportation under public assistance programs and allocates new funding for two specific initiatives: a grant program supporting children at risk of bipolar disorder, and the Children's First Episode of Psychosis program. The bill also requires a report on mental health services but does not specify the report's content. These changes directly affect individuals seeking mental health care, medical providers, and state mental health programs in Minnesota.
