AN ACT CONCERNING THE RATIO OF SOCIAL SERVICES, MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE STATE AND PRIVATE NONPROFIT PROVIDERS.

SB 983 requires Connecticut's Commissioner of Social Services to study the percentage of social services, mental health care, and substance abuse services provided by the state versus private nonprofit providers. The study must be completed and reported to the Human Services committee by December 31, 2025. This bill does not change current funding or service delivery; it only mandates a factual analysis to inform future decisions about service distribution. The study will directly affect how state and nonprofit providers are evaluated for these services, but no new policies are enacted by this bill.
