"Behavioral Health Crisis Mobile Response Act."

This bill establishes a statewide system of mobile crisis response teams to assist adults with disabilities who are experiencing behavioral health emergencies. The legislation requires these teams to provide face-to-face support for up to 72 hours at the individual's home or current location, with the option to transport them to temporary stabilization units for up to seven days if needed. Key provisions include the creation of individualized crisis stabilization plans and the authorization of mobile crisis response agencies to deliver these services around the clock. The act aims to de-escalate crises and stabilize individuals without relying solely on traditional emergency services.
