Establishes Behavioral Health Services Task Force.

New Jersey's A 2434 establishes a 26-member Behavioral Health Services Task Force within the Department of Human Services. The task force will study mental health and substance use disorder services county by county, identify gaps in care for children, adults, and emergency access, and make recommendations to improve service coordination, funding use, and program expansion. It must report findings and specific actionable steps to the Governor and Legislature within 18 months of the bill's effective date, after which the task force will dissolve. This bill directly affects all New Jersey residents seeking behavioral health services by initiating a state-level review process to address system weaknesses.
