AI Summary
This bill amends the Education Code to require local mental health authorities to employ a non-physician mental health professional to serve as a mental health and substance use resource for school districts in their region. The non-physician mental health professional must collaborate with the regional education service center and provide various training and support services to school district personnel, including on mental health first aid, grief and trauma, and substance use prevention. The bill also requires interagency collaboration between the local mental health authority and the regional education service center, and establishes a reporting requirement to the Health and Human Services Commission on the outcomes of these services.
