Bill > A01803

This bill amends the Mental Hygiene Law to authorize the Commissioner to establish integrated community mental health clinics. The clinics would provide services to address mental health issues, anger management issues, substance abuse issues, and isolation issues. The bill requires the Commissioner to establish standards for the operation and funding of these clinics, including guidelines for integrated services, periodic evaluation, staffing patterns, and determining state aid. The bill would take effect 90 days after becoming law, and the necessary rules and regulations can be made and completed by the effective date.
