AI Summary
This bill directs two state departments to conduct important reviews and consultations related to student mental health and crisis services. The Department of Education will review the implementation of a previous law (Public Law 2021, chapter 295) and explore disciplinary options for students who make threats of bodily harm but are not considered an imminent danger. Simultaneously, the Department of Health and Human Services will develop a plan for community-based crisis receiving centers and consult with school administrators about integrating these centers with school mental health and substance use disorder response services. Both departments are required to submit comprehensive reports by December 3, 2025, to their respective legislative committees (Education and Cultural Affairs, and Health and Human Services), with the potential to propose legislation in the Second Regular Session of the 132nd Legislature. The bill aims to improve understanding and response mechanisms for student mental health challenges and potential crisis situations.
