AI Summary

This bill amends Idaho law to comprehensively update and clarify regulations surrounding mental health and substance use disorder services for children, adolescents, and adults. The bill introduces new definitions and eligibility screening processes for mental health and substance use disorder services, requiring individuals to meet specific criteria such as age, residency, diagnosis, and functional impairment to access services. It establishes requirements for substance use disorder personnel, including qualifications for professionals and trainees, and allows for waivers in certain background check denial situations. The bill also provides guidance on service provider selection, residential treatment services, and financial responsibility for treatment. Additionally, it defines key terms like "serious mental illness" and "serious and persistent mental illness," and creates pathways for individuals to access mental health and substance use disorder services through structured eligibility screenings. The legislation aims to standardize and improve mental health and substance use disorder service delivery across Idaho, with most provisions set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
