SF1539

This legislative bill, S.F. No. 1539, proposes an amendment to Minnesota Statutes section 256I.05. The amendment would allow for a supplementary services rate for mental health facilities in Winona County. Specifically, from July 1, 2025, county agencies could negotiate an additional payment of up to $750 per month for up to 53 beds. This rate is above the usual monthly room and board payment provided to facilities. The facilities eligible for this supplementary rate are those that operate five locations in Winona County, offering room and board along with supportive housing services to adults affected by mental health and substance use issues.
