Urges the state to address and support the needs of the state's most vulnerable citizens in response to the report on mental health care released by the Department of Justice

This non-binding resolution (HR 491) urges Missouri state agencies to address mental health care gaps identified in a U.S. Department of Justice report. It specifically calls for increased funding for community-based mental health services, safer transitions out of nursing facilities for vulnerable individuals (including those with mental disabilities, developmental disabilities, or dementia), and collaboration with county public administrators who serve as legal guardians. The resolution requests the state create a dedicated committee to identify resource gaps and develop budget recommendations, but does not mandate new laws or funding. It directly affects Missouri’s most vulnerable citizens and their guardians, focusing on systemic improvements rather than immediate policy changes.
