Commissioner of human services requirement to establish a minimum per diem rate for a specified psychiatrist residential treatment facility

This bill requires Minnesota's Commissioner of Human Services to set a minimum daily payment rate of $1,800 for a specific Clay County psychiatric residential treatment facility serving youth under 21. It appropriates $1 million in fiscal year 2026 for Clay County to purchase equipment and remodel the facility, and allocates $1 million each year for 2026-2027 for statewide start-up and capacity-building grants for similar facilities. The bill directly affects Clay County's facility conversion project and provides funding for new psychiatric residential treatment services. It does not establish statewide rate standards but mandates a specific rate for this facility and funds related infrastructure.
