Assertive community treatment certification timelines establishment provision

This bill requires Minnesota's health commissioner to process applications for Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) team certification within 45 calendar days. It directly affects mental health providers operating ACT teams by establishing a strict timeline for state review, replacing previous unspecified processing periods. The requirement is part of broader certification standards covering staffing, record-keeping, Medicaid enrollment, and quality assurance. Recertification must occur at least every three years, with the commissioner able to decertify teams failing to meet standards. The bill aims to streamline certification while maintaining service quality for individuals receiving ACT services.
