Bill Summary

The statement includes a measure digest written in compliance with applicable readability standards. Digest: The Act tells OHA to study mental health treatment. (Flesch Readability Score: 75.5).

AI Summary

This bill directs the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to conduct a comprehensive study on mental health treatment. The authority is required to prepare a report, which may include legislative recommendations, to be submitted to the interim health-related committees of the Legislative Assembly by September 15, 2026. The bill includes a sunset provision that automatically repeals the study requirement on January 2, 2027, meaning the legislation and its associated mandate will expire on that date. This approach allows the state to gather important information about mental health treatment while ensuring the study is time-limited and does not become a permanent ongoing obligation. The report will be prepared in accordance with ORS 192.245, which likely specifies the standard format and protocols for state agency reporting.
