AI Summary

This bill extends the availability of funds for a pilot program aimed at supporting county correctional facilities in providing direct care and treatment for mental health. Specifically, it amends a previous law to push back the deadline for using the allocated $2,387,000 from June 30, 2026, to June 30, 2027. This pilot program, established in fiscal year 2025, focuses on educating counties and their correctional facilities about best practices for administering involuntary mental health medications, offering technical assistance to increase the use of injectable psychotropic medications, and surveying facilities about their capacity and any challenges they face in providing these services. The extension ensures that the program has more time to implement its goals and gather necessary data.
