Services that may be provided by school-based health centers modified, commissioner of health required to distribute stabilization grants to school-based health centers, and money appropriated.

This bill expands the range of services that school-based health centers in Minnesota can provide, adding options like care coordination, home visits for students unable to attend school, and support groups for trauma recovery. It also requires the state health commissioner to distribute stabilization grants of up to $50,000 per center for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to help these facilities improve telehealth services, upgrade health record systems, and assist uninsured students. The legislation appropriates $2.7 million annually from the state general fund to support these grants, technical assistance, and program administration, with an additional $2.7 million added to the program's permanent funding base for 2028 and 2029.
