Minnesota SF4404 mandates that jails provide medications to detained individuals that match those prescribed before their incarceration.

Minnesota SF4404 amends state statutes to require jails to administer the same medications to detained individuals as those prescribed before their confinement, upon verification by a licensed health care professional. This provision ensures continuity of care for incarcerated individuals, maintaining their prescribed treatment plans. Exceptions apply if a health care professional deems the medication medically inappropriate or if an equally effective alternative is available and approved by the prescribing professional.
