AI Summary
This bill aims to create a behavioral health emergency response pilot program within the executive office of public safety and security, in collaboration with the department of public health and the department of mental health. The program will establish an application process for municipalities to participate, set criteria for behavioral health clinician staff, and collect data on the outcomes of the co-response pilot program. The program will also collaborate with a board of community-based behavioral health organizations and provide educational programming for municipal police, fire, and emergency medical professionals. The bill requires the program to report annually on its progress, including details on grant allocation, participant numbers, and identified barriers to implementation.
