House Study Committee on Mental Health Workforce Development; create

HR 685 creates a House Study Committee on Mental Health Workforce Development to address Georgia's shortage of mental health professionals, particularly in rural areas. The committee will study current undergraduate mental health degree programs, workforce needs, and employment opportunities to recommend solutions. It has no authority to pass laws but will report findings and potential policy recommendations by December 2025. This resolution focuses solely on gathering data and analysis, not implementing new programs or funding.
