Establishes Behavioral Health Services Task Force.
This bill establishes a 26-member Behavioral Health Services Task Force within New Jersey's Department of Human Services. The task force will review and analyze the state's mental health and substance use disorder services across all counties, identifying gaps in care for children, adolescents, and adults. Over 18 months, it will conduct county-by-county surveys and make recommendations to improve emergency access, coordinate services, maximize funding, and develop new programs. The task force will expire after submitting its final report to the Governor and Legislature. It directly affects all New Jersey residents seeking behavioral health services by aiming to improve system-wide access and quality.
