Changing the name of juvenile crisis intervention centers to juvenile stabilization centers, modifying the intake criteria and treatment provided at such centers and transferring moneys from the evidence-based programs account of the state general fund for use at such centers.
HB 2639 changes the name of "juvenile crisis intervention centers" to "juvenile stabilization centers" and updates who can use these facilities. It modifies intake rules to limit who qualifies for services, removes certain restrictions on center operations, and updates the types of treatment provided. The bill transfers existing state funds from the "evidence-based programs account" to the Department for Children and Families to support these new stabilization services. This directly affects children needing crisis care and the state agencies managing these centers.
