Process for People with Behavioral Health Disorder

Summary

The bill requires facilities holding someone under an emergency mental‑health hold to attempt a follow‑up contact within 48‑72 hours after discharge, encouraging use of peer‑support professionals. It also makes a fire‑safety compliance certificate a prerequisite for issuing or renewing behavioral health licenses, with specific exemptions for telehealth and outpatient providers. These steps are intended to improve continuity of care and ensure safety standards in behavioral health settings.
