CHILDREN'S MENTAL HLTH ACT

Summary

The bill updates the Children’s Mental Health Partnership’s responsibilities, shifting from research assessments to reviewing needs assessments, monitoring policy, and regularly analyzing de‑identified data from the BEACON portal. It also requires public members to reflect diverse sexual orientations, makes all members unpaid, removes the ability to convene study groups, and expands the youth advisory council. The changes aim to make the state’s mental‑health system more data‑driven and inclusive for children, families, and youth up to age 25.
