This bill directs the System of Care Advisory Council (a state-level advisory body) to conduct a comprehensive study of the youth behavioral health workforce in Oregon. The council is required to prepare and submit a report to the interim legislative committees responsible for behavioral health and healthcare by September 15, 2026. The report may include legislative recommendations and is designed to provide insights into the current state of the youth behavioral health workforce.
