Blue Earth County long-term residential facility supplemental housing support rate establishment

This bill establishes a supplemental monthly payment rate of up to $750 for long-term residential facilities in Blue Earth County that serve 20 beds specifically for chemically dependent women requiring 24-hour supervision and support services. It amends Minnesota Statutes by adding a new subdivision to Section 256I.05, creating this separate payment rate effective July 1, 2026. The rate applies only to facilities meeting these precise criteria within Blue Earth County and excludes standard housing support rates. It directly affects providers operating such facilities by providing additional funding for this targeted population.
