AI Summary
This bill establishes the Behavioral Health and Deflection Committee within the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission, transferring duties from the Oversight and Accountability Council to this new committee. The committee will administer grant programs for Behavioral Health Resource Networks and deflection programs, which aim to provide community-based pathways to treatment and support services for individuals with substance use disorders and other behavioral health needs, often diverting them from the criminal justice system. The bill also mandates the committee to conduct an analysis of effective substance abuse treatment methods and report its findings to the legislature, and it makes several amendments to existing laws concerning behavioral health services, funding, and program administration, including redefining terms and clarifying the roles of various entities involved in substance use disorder treatment and prevention.
