Extend study to make recommendations for future of behavioral health in Montana

This bill (LC 949) proposed extending a study on Montana's behavioral health system to develop recommendations for its future structure and funding. It would have directly affected state officials overseeing behavioral health services and potentially providers within the system. The key mechanism was simply prolonging the existing study period to allow more time for analysis and input. The bill was assigned to a drafter in 2024 but did not advance further, dying in process in May 2025 without becoming law.
