Interim study of youth and family behavioral health prevention
SJ 49 requests an interim study of youth and family behavioral health prevention programs across Montana. An interim committee will be designated to comprehensively review these programs, focusing on their funding, workforce, and delivery settings for youth under 18. The study aims to identify gaps in the state's behavioral health system and assess how prevention efforts divert youth and families from crises, with findings to be reported to the 70th Legislature.

MINOR
The bill text was updated to reflect its status as an 'Enrolled Bill' rather than a draft, and the title was expanded to explicitly require that study results be reported to the 70th Legislature. The substantive policy content, including the request for an interim study on youth and family prevention programs, remains unchanged.
TECHNICAL
The document header was updated from 'Authorized Print Version' to 'Enrolled Bill', indicating the legislation has passed both houses and is ready for the governor's signature.
Page numbering and version markers were removed or renumbered to match the new enrolled format.
REQUIREMENT
The resolution title was amended to add the requirement that the final study results must be reported to the 70th Legislature.
