Bill > HB0572

This bill makes several amendments to Utah law concerning behavioral health, mental health, and social services. Key provisions include establishing a statewide database for individuals committed to mental health facilities, creating a grant program for community-based peer support services, and clarifying rules for licensing behavioral health receiving centers, including notification requirements for justice-involved individuals. The bill also amends laws related to county jail reporting, the Governor's Suicide Prevention Fund, and various committees and commissions involved in behavioral health policy and oversight, such as renaming the "Utah Substance Use and Mental Health Advisory Committee" to the "Utah Behavioral Health Commission" and adjusting its duties and reporting structures. Additionally, it modifies provisions for temporary shelter expansion, clarifies definitions for homeless services facilities, and makes changes to how certain tax revenues are distributed for substance abuse enforcement and treatment.
