AI Generated Summary

This bill, introduced in Minnesota, aims to make mental health services more accessible for children under 18 by prohibiting health insurance companies from requiring a copayment for these services. However, for high-deductible health plans linked with health savings accounts, the bill allows a minimal copayment necessary to maintain the tax-exempt status of contributions and withdrawals from these accounts, as required by federal law.
