AI Summary

This bill, the CRISIS Act (Creating Resources to Improve Situations of Inherent Severity Act), 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 crisis care programs, such as crisis call centers, 24/7 mobile crisis services, and crisis stabilization programs. The bill also gives states the flexibility to phase in this requirement over two consecutive fiscal years by spending at least 10% of their grant funding on these services.
