AI Summary
This bill directs the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to conduct a comprehensive study on behavioral health, which encompasses mental health and related psychological services. The authority is required to produce a detailed report, which may include legislative recommendations, to be submitted to the interim legislative committees focused on health by September 15, 2026. The bill includes a "sunset" provision that automatically repeals the study mandate on January 2, 2027, meaning the requirement for the study will automatically expire on that date. The report will be prepared in accordance with ORS 192.245, a statutory provision governing how state agencies submit reports to legislative committees. This bill appears to be part of an effort to gather more information and potentially improve behavioral health services in Oregon by commissioning an official study that will provide insights and potential policy recommendations to legislators.
