What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires the Department of Health Services to award a onetime grant to Rogers Behavioral Health during fiscal year 2025-26 to construct and build an integrated mental health facility in the Chippewa Valley region of the state that includes a crisis stabilization unit, residential treatment center, partial hospitalization/intensive outpatient program, and supportive living to provide adolescents and adults with a full continuum of care for mental health issues. DHS may award the grant only if Rogers Behavioral Health submits both a letter of intent to use any grant awarded for constructing and building an integrated mental health facility as described in the bill and proof of purchase or lease of land. The bill establishes a new appropriation account to which an appropriation may be made to support this grant.
