Senate Bill No. 1173 is a legislative proposal aimed at improving access to mental health services for individuals who are on probation or parole. The bill proposes to amend existing laws in Minnesota by allowing these individuals to be included in contracts for mental health services, which would previously not have been allowed for them under certain conditions. Specifically, it aims to adjust the rules so that people serving probation or parole can receive mental health services without the restrictions that currently prevent them from doing so. Additionally, the bill requires that any agency or facility entering into a contract with another state for mental health services must notify the commissioner of human services about the contract and any amendments to it within 30 days of their effective dates.
