Bill Summary

Generally revise school-based mental health services

AI Summary

This bill generally revises school-based mental health services in Montana. It aims to increase the capacity of schools to provide mental health and substance abuse prevention, early intervention, and support services. The bill requires the Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) to adopt a multitiered system of supports framework, inventory existing school-based behavioral health services, and identify evidence-based or evidence-informed interventions. DPHHS must also provide training and technical assistance to school districts and community providers, prioritize services for small and rural school districts, and report to the legislature on the progress and outcomes of the school-based services. The bill also expands the Medicaid school-based fee schedule to include additional behavioral health services and requires parental consent and involvement with school-based behavioral health services.
