AI Summary
This bill establishes a Criminal Justice and Community Support Trust Fund to be administered by the Commissioner of Mental Health, in consultation with the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security. The fund will receive appropriations, grants, gifts, or other designated monies, and its income will be used without further appropriation to make grants to county and community-based jail diversion programs, community policing and behavioral health training initiatives, and the creation of patient-focused ongoing community services for frequent users of emergency departments with serious mental illness or substance use disorders. The fund can also be used to plan and implement restoration centers to divert individuals suffering from mental illness or substance use disorder from lock-up facilities and hospital emergency departments to appropriate treatment during the pre-arrest or pre-adjudication process. The Commissioner of Mental Health is required to issue an annual report on the fund's activities, including amounts credited, expended, and any unexpended balance.
