Senate File No. 1479 is a legislative bill concerning human services in Minnesota. It aims to allocate funds to support mental health services specifically through two key initiatives:

  1. Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility Startup Grants: The bill earmarks funding to facilitate the creation and operation of psychiatric residential treatment facilities. It proposes a grant of $1,000,000 for fiscal year 2024 and $900,000 for fiscal year 2025. This financial support is non-recurring and must be utilized by June 30, 2027.

  2. African American Child Wellness Institute: An amount of $2,000,000 is designated in fiscal year 2024 for the African American Child Wellness Institute. This grant is to aid in providing culturally-specific mental health and substance use disorder services. Like the above appropriation, these funds are a one-time provision and are available until June 30, 2027.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for base level budget adjustments to ensure sustained funding for these initiatives into the near future, with allocated funds set for fiscal years 2026 and 2027.

The purpose of these appropriations and adjustments is to bolster support for mental health services, particularly for children, within culturally relevant frameworks and secure environments.
