County cost-share requirements for economically distressed counties modified.

This bill modifies how Minnesota counties share costs for mental health and substance use services, specifically exempting economically distressed counties from certain financial responsibilities. A county qualifies as economically distressed if more than 15% of its population lives in poverty and over 70% of its land is exempt from property taxes. The legislation also allocates funding for opioid response efforts, including grants for antagonist distribution, traditional healing practices for American Indians, safe recovery sites, and child protection services affected by addiction. These provisions aim to adjust financial burdens on struggling counties while directing state resources toward specific public health initiatives.
