Bill > HB06397

This bill seeks to amend Connecticut's general statutes by implementing recommendations from the Transforming Children's Behavioral Health Policy and Planning Committee across several key areas of children's behavioral health. Specifically, the bill addresses six main domains: Medicaid behavioral health reimbursement rates, workforce stabilization for mental health professionals, insurance coverage for behavioral health services, conducting a comprehensive study on crisis services for children, performing a study on school-based health centers, and examining school health services. The legislation aims to improve the overall behavioral health infrastructure and support system for children in the state by addressing systemic challenges in reimbursement, professional workforce development, insurance accessibility, and service delivery across educational and healthcare settings. While the bill does not provide granular details about the specific recommendations, it signals a comprehensive approach to enhancing children's behavioral health support through policy and strategic planning.
