HB 149 Delaware House · 153rd General Assembly (2025-2026)

AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 18 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH CENTERS.

This bill amends Delaware law to give the Department of Public Health (DPH) authority to approve supervised clinical training for mental health providers at school-based health centers. It directly affects mental health professionals seeking training placements within school health centers. The key provision establishes DPH as the official body responsible for approving these training rotations. This creates a formal process for integrating mental health provider training into school settings without altering existing center operations.
