MODERATE
This bill was amended to add two new sponsors (Senators Addabbo and Krueger) and advance it to a third reading. The substantive changes remove the requirement for a 'critical time intervention care management team' assignment and reduce reporting frequency from quarterly to biannual, while keeping the core provisions for single point of access referrals and dismissal of charges.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on cases terminated due to mental disease or defect, but the operational requirements for institutions were reduced.
