AI Summary

This bill amends the Community Mental Health Service Block Grant to authorize a set-aside for crisis care services. Specifically, it requires states to expend at least 5% of their grant funding on evidence-based programs that address the crisis care needs of individuals with serious mental disorders and children with serious mental and emotional disturbances. The bill outlines core crisis care service components that can be funded, such as crisis call centers, 24/7 mobile crisis services, and crisis stabilization programs.
