Persons on probation or parole allowed to access certain mental health services.

HF 2031 removes an existing exclusion in Minnesota law that prevented people on probation or parole from accessing certain mental health services. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes section 245.50 to delete the provision barring contracts for services to individuals "on probation or parole." This change directly affects Minnesotans under community supervision (probation or parole) who need mental health care. The policy shift enables these individuals to access existing mental health services through state contracts, without creating new programs or funding.
