establishing a commission to study the delivery of behavioral crisis services to individuals with mental illness with an impairment primarily caused by intellectual disability.

This bill amends New Hampshire state law to clarify the definition of mental illness by explicitly excluding conditions where impairment is primarily caused by intellectual disability. It establishes that individuals who have both mental illness and an intellectual or developmental disability remain eligible for mental health services under the state system. The legislation requires the department to coordinate mental health and developmental services while prohibiting denial of care based on the co-occurrence of these conditions.
