This bill creates the Council of Health Care Coordination for Justice-Involved Youth and Adults, located within the Department of Health, to address coordination and communication between tribes, state, and local agencies that house individuals in confinement settings. The council will review current laws and policies related to health care information sharing, make recommendations to improve coordination and communication, and submit annual reports on its activities. The bill defines "confined" or "confinement" as incarceration in a correctional institution or admission to an institute for mental disease. The council will include representatives from various state agencies, local governments, tribes, and individuals with relevant lived experiences.
