AI Summary

This bill aims to enhance behavioral health services for children and youth by establishing a "children and youth behavioral health leadership council" to oversee the implementation of a strategic plan, and by expanding the responsibilities of the existing "children and youth behavioral health work group" to advise this new council and the legislature. The bill also mandates that state agencies align their planning and activities with the "Washington thriving strategic plan," which is a comprehensive plan to improve behavioral health services from prenatal care through young adulthood, addressing gaps in access, quality, and equity. The Office of the Governor is tasked with supporting and coordinating state agencies in implementing this plan, potentially using private funding, and the bill extends the expiration date of these provisions to December 30, 2031.
