Bill > SB00983

This bill requires the Commissioner of Social Services to conduct a comprehensive study examining the percentage of social services, mental health services, and substance abuse services currently provided by state agencies versus private nonprofit organizations. The commissioner must complete this research and submit a detailed report to the joint standing committee responsible for human services matters by December 31, 2025. The purpose of the study is to gain a clearer understanding of how these critical services are currently distributed between government and nonprofit sectors, which could potentially inform future policy decisions about service delivery, resource allocation, and potential improvements in the social services landscape. By mandating this research, the bill seeks to provide policymakers with concrete data about the current state of service provision, helping them make more informed decisions about supporting vulnerable populations through both state and nonprofit channels.
