Summary

The bill directs Minnesota’s commissioner of corrections to study partnership options—such as university dental schools, student training programs, and mobile clinics—to enhance dental services in prisons. By early 2027 the commissioner must report recommendations on partnerships, financing, and needed legislation, and must expand preventive, restorative, and emergency dental care for incarcerated people. The measure also earmarks general‑fund money for the improvements and for the evaluation effort.
