Bill Summary

This bill repeals the statewide use of the multi-tiered system of supports for behavioral health and wellness, or MTSS-B, in New Hampshire schools.

AI Summary

This bill repeals the statewide use of the Multi-Tiered System of Supports for Behavioral Health and Wellness (MTSS-B) in New Hampshire schools. Specifically, the bill eliminates section RSA 135-F:3, III(l), which previously mandated the implementation of MTSS-B across the state. MTSS-B is a comprehensive framework designed to support students' mental health and wellness through a tiered approach of interventions, ranging from universal supports for all students to more intensive, individualized services for those with more significant behavioral health needs. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, effectively removing the requirement for schools to implement this standardized behavioral health support system. At the time of introduction, a complete fiscal note was pending, with the Office of Legislative Budget Assistant awaiting additional information from the Department of Health and Human Services to assess the potential financial implications of this repeal.
