MINOR
The bill was amended to improve readability and consistency by adding a connecting word ('and') to a list of services and standardizing the capitalization of the term 'provider' in the license description. These are technical and formatting changes that do not alter the bill's substantive policy, scope, or funding requirements.
TECHNICAL
Added the word 'and' at the end of a sentence listing services to ensure grammatical consistency.
Changed the capitalization of 'Crisis Receiving Center (CRC) license' to 'Crisis provider license' to match the lowercase 'provider' used in the preceding 'Behavioral Health Service (BHS) provider license'.
