AN ACT EXPANDING THE CRISIS INITIATIVE PILOT PROGRAM TO PROVIDE JUVENILE SERVICES.

HB 6617 expands the existing CRISIS Initiative pilot program to include juvenile services. It requires the Division of State Police (within the Department of Emergency Services) to partner with the Department of Mental Health to provide mobile crisis intervention teams for juveniles in emergency situations. These teams will assist with the emergency transport of juveniles to urgent care facilities or hospitals. The bill directly affects juveniles experiencing mental health crises and the state agencies responsible for emergency response and mental health services.
