Establishes Office of Ombudsman for Mental Health and Addiction Services.

This bill establishes an independent Office of the Ombudsman for Mental Health and Addiction Services within New Jersey's Department of the Treasury (though operating separately from it). The office directly serves residents with mental illness or addiction by helping them access treatment, ensuring proper care in facilities, providing counseling and job support, and educating the public about substance use disorders. The Governor appoints a qualified ombudsman who must annually report to the Human Services Commissioner, Governor, and Legislature on services provided and recommendations. The bill creates a dedicated resource to support individuals navigating mental health and addiction services across the state.
