Purpose

This bill would provide money from Minnesota’s general fund to the Department of Human Services to support mobile crisis grants for two fiscal years (2026 and 2027). The funds are aimed at mobile crisis teams to purchase and renovate vehicles to provide protected transport for individuals in crisis, as authorized by existing statutes.

  • Minnesota Statutes 256B.0625, subdivision 17, paragraph (l), clause 6 (for protected transport).
