Sir:
Your Committee on Health, Human Services, & Homelessness, to which was referred H.B. No. 1665 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HEALTH,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to establish a Core State Behavioral Health Crisis Services System to provide crisis intervention services and crisis care coordination to individuals accessing the 988 Suicide Prevention and Behavioral Health Crisis Hotline from any jurisdiction within the State.
Your Committee finds
that establishing crisis hotline centers to provide crisis intervention
services and crisis care coordination to individuals accessing the National
Suicide Prevention Lifeline from anywhere in the State is in the best interest
of public health.
Your
Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2060,
to encourage further discussion; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments
for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Health, Human Services, & Homelessness that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1665, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1665, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Health, Human Services, & Homelessness,
