Partnerships for dental services provided in correctional facilities authorized, commissioner of corrections required to improve correctional facilities' dental services, report required, and money appropriated.

This bill directs the Minnesota Commissioner of Corrections to explore partnerships with external groups, such as dental schools and mobile clinics, to enhance dental care in state prisons. The commissioner must evaluate these options and submit a report by January 15, 2027, outlining potential partnerships, funding strategies, and any necessary legislative changes. Additionally, the law requires the commissioner to improve inmate access to preventive, restorative, and emergency dental treatments. To support these efforts, the bill appropriates unspecified funds from the state's general budget for the fiscal year 2027.
