AI Summary
This bill requires the Department of Mental Health, in collaboration with the Department of Youth Services and the Department of Public Health, to conduct a comprehensive review of the mental health and substance use service needs of adolescents in the care or custody of the Commonwealth through the juvenile court system. The review aims to identify existing and proposed models of alternatives to detention, unmet mental health and substance use needs, and recommendations for addressing those needs, including through the juvenile court clinics and community-based services. The bill outlines a timeline for the review process, including public comment periods and the submission of a final report to the legislature and governor.
