AN ACT CONCERNING FUNDING FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT CRISIS INTERVENTION TEAMS.

SB 378 appropriates funds from the General Fund to the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services for law enforcement crisis intervention teams during fiscal years ending June 30, 2026, and June 30, 2027. The bill directly affects local law enforcement agencies that operate crisis intervention teams by providing dedicated funding for their operations. Key provisions include authorizing specific annual funding amounts (though the exact figure is blank in the text) for these teams to respond to mental health crises. The stated purpose is to establish permanent funding for these teams, aiming to improve community-based crisis response.
