Bill Summary

The statement includes a measure digest written in compliance with applicable readability standards. Digest: The Act tells OHA to study mental health. (Flesch Readability Score: 82.3).

Directs the authority to sub- mit findings to the interim committees of the Legislative Assembly related to health not later than September 15, 2026. Sunsets on January 2, 2027.

AI Summary

This bill directs the Oregon Health Authority (OHA), a state agency responsible for healthcare services, to conduct a comprehensive study on behavioral health, which encompasses mental health and related care services. The OHA is required to prepare and submit a detailed report to the interim legislative committees focused on health by September 15, 2026. This report may include recommendations for potential future legislation to address behavioral health issues. The bill includes a sunset provision that automatically repeals the study requirement on January 2, 2027, meaning the legislative mandate will expire on that date. The bill appears to be a legislative effort to gather more information and insights about behavioral health in Oregon, potentially to inform future policy decisions and improvements in mental health care services.
