AN ACT CONCERNING THE EXPANSION OF THE CRISIS INITIATIVE PILOT PROGRAM THROUGHOUT THE STATE.

SB 1241 requires the Division of State Police and the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services to expand the CRISIS Initiative pilot program statewide by January 1, 2026. The program connects individuals experiencing crises to immediate support and recovery services through coordinated intervention. This expansion moves the initiative from a limited pilot to a comprehensive state-wide service, ensuring broader access to crisis response resources across Connecticut. The bill mandates implementation by the specified date but does not alter existing funding or service structures.
