Bill > SB1342

This bill requires Tennessee's council on children's mental health to submit an annual comprehensive report by June 30, 2026, and each subsequent year, detailing the state's children's mental health system. The report must be created through collaboration with all state departments and agencies involved in children's mental health services, and must include a current list of state and federally funded mental health programs and services for children and youth. Additionally, the report must provide recommendations focusing on service delivery coordination, identifying treatment availability gaps, and suggesting opportunities for system improvement, investment, and evaluation. The report will be submitted to key state officials, including the governor, legislative leadership, commissioners of various state departments (mental health, children's services, education, health, human services, and disability and aging), and the TennCare director. The goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of children's mental health services in Tennessee and highlight areas for potential enhancement and strategic investment.
