AN ACT RELATING TO STATE AFFAIRS AND GOVERNMENT -- CHILDREN'S MOBILE RESPONSE AND STABILIZATION SERVICES

Summary

The law sets up a statewide Children's Mobile Response and Stabilization Services (MRSS) system that sends teams to a child’s home, school or other community setting within an hour of a crisis call. It is funded through a mix of Medicaid, commercial insurance and state money, and families are not charged any fees. The program aims to reduce emergency department visits, hospital stays and law‑enforcement involvement for youth in behavioral health crises.
