Minnesota creates statewide 'forensic navigator' system for competency cases
Minnesota enacted Minn. Stat. §611.55, establishing a State Competency Restoration Board responsible for providing "forensic navigator" services statewide to help people found incompetent to proceed get bridge plans, restoration placements, and connections to community mental-health services.
The law mirrors Washington's own "forensic navigator" role, created a few years earlier under its Trueblood-driven SB 5444, suggesting the navigator model has become one of the more widely adopted reforms in this backfill's legislative record.
