New secure psychiatric residential treatment facility operated by Direct Care and Treatment funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

This bill authorizes the creation of a new 30-bed secure psychiatric residential treatment facility operated by Direct Care and Treatment in Minnesota. To fund the project's initial planning and design phases, it directs the state to issue up to $7 million in bonds from the bond proceeds fund. The legislation provides $7 million in state funding specifically for the commissioner of administration to conduct predesign and design work for the facility. This action is intended to establish the financial and administrative framework necessary to move forward with building the new treatment center.
