Summary

The bill adds a new section to the Social Welfare Act that tells the state department to cover the cost of behavioral health transport for people who qualify for medical assistance. It also requires any transport agency to follow the mental health code’s existing compliance rules. The new coverage only becomes active if a companion bill (HB 5943 or the matching Senate bill) is enacted.
