Appropriation availability for the Direct Care and Treatment county correctional facility support pilot program extended.

HF 3469 extends the deadline for using $2,387,000 allocated to Minnesota's two-year county correctional facility support pilot program. The pilot program, established under the original 2024 law, directly affects county correctional facilities by providing education on involuntary mental health medication protocols, technical assistance to expand access to injectable psychotropic medications, and surveys on facility capacity and barriers. This bill specifically changes the appropriation's availability period from June 30, 2026, to June 30, 2027, without altering the program's core provisions or funding amount. The extension ensures counties have an additional year to implement the pilot's requirements before funds expire.
