Case management associate, mental health behavioral aide, and mental health rehabilitation worker supervision requirements modified; mental health residential program critical incident reporting requirements modified, and other mental health policies modified.

HF 98 modifies supervision and training rules for mental health professionals in Minnesota. It requires case managers with less experience to complete 40 hours of approved training and receive 38 hours of annual supervision (including monthly clinical sessions), while case management associates must meet specific education or experience criteria and complete 40 hours of preservice training. The bill also exempts intensive residential mental health treatment providers from certain client rights requirements and updates critical incident reporting timelines for residential programs. These changes directly affect mental health service providers, case managers, behavioral aides, and residential treatment facilities.
