AI Summary

This bill directs the Oregon Health Authority (OHA), a state agency responsible for public health programs, to conduct a comprehensive study on behavioral health, which encompasses mental health and substance abuse services. The OHA is required to prepare a detailed report, which may include legislative recommendations, and submit it to the legislative committees focused on health by September 15, 2026. The bill includes a sunset provision that automatically repeals the study requirement on January 2, 2027, meaning the legislative mandate will expire on that date. The study aims to provide insights and potentially inform future policy decisions related to behavioral health services in Oregon, though the specific scope and methodology of the study are not detailed in the bill text.
