S 932 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes Behavioral Mental Health Advisory Board in Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services in DHS.

This bill establishes a 17-member Behavioral Mental Health Advisory Board within New Jersey's Department of Human Services. The board, including agency commissioners and public members appointed by the Governor, Senate President, and Assembly Speaker, reviews mental health services and makes recommendations to improve access, coordination, funding use, and program development for all New Jersey residents. The board must submit annual reports to the Governor and Legislature detailing its findings and tracking progress on prior recommendations. This is a procedural measure creating a new advisory body to inform future policy changes, not a direct policy action.
