HF 2295 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Dakota County mental health crisis services funding provided, and money appropriated.

HF 2295 appropriates $3.4 million from the general fund for Dakota County's mental health crisis services in fiscal year 2026. The funds will directly support mobile crisis response teams, crisis follow-up and stabilization services, and social workers embedded with local public safety agencies. This is a one-time appropriation, meaning the funding is provided only for the 2026 fiscal year. The bill does not change existing laws but allocates specific state funds to expand these crisis services in Dakota County.
